The problem here and in many industries is the difference between compliance and proving compliance. It doesn’t matter how clean your kitchen is unless you have ticked the appropriate boxes on the form in triplicate and handed in the correct colour signed on the correct date, it’s not clean. Cnt say that’s the situation in this case, but thats my experience.

There’s good hygiene practice and then there’s bureaucracy and paperwork. They don’t always go together, but the rules always guarantee plenty of the latter without necessarily contributing to the former.

There is a reason for food safety regulations and that is to protect the general public.
If you want to be in the business of providing food for a profit to the public, then you comply withfood safety regulations, simple really.
If you don’t, get into another line of business.

I think the Food Safety Authority of Ireland should be forced to close due to their danger to the health of our local food businesses..

If the paperwork does not show that the place is clean THEN IT’S NOT CLEAN!!!
Every other business in the trade has to comply so suck it up! What is he hiding? If he’s complaining about the expense then pass it onto the consumer. Every other business does!

Seamus was so angry about that! Iv bin 2 the restaurant plenty of times and it’s completely filthy! There’s even a basement just outside the towers kithen and it’s full of dirty water and rats! I should know because I’m his daughter!

Yay!

Can we not not get rid of the food safety board, it simple crap dirty places close as people don’t like them, good clean places survive, taxpayer saves a load, maybe a few people get food poisoning and feel I’ll for a day or two, but it’s not like you are going to die. No one regulates private homes and I know some of them are breaking every health law. Never have I ever read a story of someone dying from bad food hygine
