A food business operating in a shed in Dublin that was being used as a car workshop has been ordered to close by food safety officials.

Ten closure orders and five prohibition orders were issued to food businesses in May for violations of food safety laws.
An unregistered food business in Dublin was operating out of a shed building that was used as a car workshop and was ordered to close by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) last month.
The FSAI today announced that ten closure orders and five prohibition orders were issued to Irish food businesses in May for food safety breaches. The closure orders were issued by Environmental Health Officers from the Health Service Executive (HSE) and officers from the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI).
- This includes Heyba's Kitchen, located at Shed A3 Bremore Farm, Flemington Lane, Bremore, Balbriggan.
A food safety inspector issued a closure order on May 24 after determining that "there is or is likely to be a serious and immediate danger to public health at, within, or outside the premises in question."
According to the inspector's safety report, the unregistered establishment was located in a shed building that was "divided in two by a head-high fabric curtain, where the other half of the shed was occupied by a functioning car workshop".
It was found that "the premises and equipment were not clean, maintained in good repair and condition and were susceptible to contamination", while "dust, dead insects, dirt and grime were evident in food handling areas".
Four more closure orders were issued under the FSAI Act, 1998:
- Happerty Limited - Trading at Mind Mega Fair 2025 - St Margaret's Road, Finglas Dublin 11 - This Dublin takeaway was issued a closure order on May 21 due to 'activity related to handling, preparing and cooking raw fish and raw poultry for the safety of the public'.

The reasons given for issuing the closure order included 'dirt and debris in wall/floor junctions, under appliances, food containers, shelving, windows and food preparation surfaces'.
- Howda Foods (Wholesaler/Distributor), Unit 5, Ballinlough Business Park, Ballinlough, Roscone - A closure order was issued on May 27 because "the layout, design and construction of the food premises do not permit good food hygiene practices, including protection against contamination, and in particular pest control".
- Stop N Shop Convenience Store, 52-54 Tullow Street, Carlow - This Carlow convenience store was issued a closure order on May 8 after inspectors found dust accumulating on food surfaces, equipment and preparation areas due to extensive construction work taking place on the premises. The closure order was subsequently lifted on May 15.
