A busy supermarket on the northside of Cork city was closed this week by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) for the second time in a month.<\/p>\n
On Monday, September 29, Singleton\u2019s SuperValu in Hollyhill posted a notice on its door saying it was temporarily closed and expected to reopen later in the week.<\/p>\n
This morning, the FSAI posted a notice online saying a closure order had been issued through the HSE on Monday to the store\u2019s owners, Crimdale Developments Limited, which is currently in receivership.<\/p>\n
It is understood that notice of that enforcement order had not been posted on Monday due to technical issues at the FSAI.<\/p>\n
When contacted on Monday by The Echo, a spokesperson for Musgrave, which owns the SuperValu franchise, said the company did not wish to comment at this time.<\/p>\n
Local Fianna F\u00e1il city councillor Tony Fitzgerald said he had spoken with the receivers, who had told him the store was now expected to reopen on Sunday.<\/p>\n
On September 4, the FSAI issued a closure order on Crimdale Developments Limited, an order which was subsequently lifted on September 6.<\/p>\n
The FSAI did not provide a reason for the September 4 closure order, but a full report is expected to be published in in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
At the time of the initial closure, a spokesperson for Musgrave said: \u201cWe can confirm that SuperValu Hollyhill is currently closed to allow essential maintenance works to take place.<\/p>\n
When queried on the reason for the September 4 closure, the spokesperson said: \u201cSuperValu Hollyhill was temporarily closed to allow for essential maintenance works following the identification of a pest control issue.<\/p>\n
\u201cImmediate action was taken to resolve this matter, including engaging external contractors, and the store fully reopened on Saturday, September 6, and is continuing to trade as normal.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe health and safety of customers and staff at Supervalu Hollyhill is and remains our top priority.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
