A closure order was issued on October 26 as the drinking water supply was found to pose “grave and immediate danger to public health”
A Kildare café was among five businesses around Ireland that were served with closure orders by the Food Safety Authority in October.
Base Coffee, at The Mart, on Newbridge Road in Kilcullen, County Kildare, was served the order on October 26, after the FSAI inspectors had “concerns of grave and immediate danger to public health.”
The reasons for closure as stated in the FSAI food hygiene inspection report was that “a drinking water sample taken on October 24 2023 from the food business indicated that the supply [was] contaminated.”
According to the inspection report: “Coliforms, Enterococci and E coli were detected in the drinking water sample. Given these levels of contamination, the drinking water supply pose a grave and immediate danger to public health.”
Other premises which were closed in October included: Indian Spices (restaurant/café), 138 Parnell Street, Dublin 1; Mizzoni Pizza (takeaway), 12 Railway Street, Navan, Meath; Seasons Chinese, Bridge Street, Strokestown, Roscommon.
