A popular Dublin pub was shut down last month after rodent carcasses and dropping were found by food safety inspectors.
Hartigans Pub on Leeson Street was served with an FSAI Closure Order on July 22nd and remained closed until it was lifted on July 30th.
The inspection report notes that rodent droppings “old and new” were found in the room beside the bar’s keg store – and there was a gap under the door to the room offering access to both the drink store and keg room.Inspectors also found a rodent carcass in a snap trap in the room beside the keg room and a rodent leg stuck in a snap trap in the drink store.
They found “multiple holes and gaps in the internal walls of the premises both upstairs in the bar and downstairs in the keg room. Inspectors said the conditions amounted to a “serious risk and food and drink being contaminated with pathogenic bacteria likely to render the food and drink unfit for human consumption, injurious to health or contaminated in such a way that it would be unreasonable to expect it to be consumed”.
