The lack of adequate cleaning and disinfection in the premises and the food preparation activities evident gave rise to an unacceptable risk of cross-contamination of foodstuffs rendering unfit/unsafe food being placed on the market. The preparation of raw foods and ready to eat foodstuffs using the same facilities, equipment and cleaning cloths without adequate cleaning and disinfection was being carried out. Large containers for mixing foodstuffs that food workers stated had been cleaned, did not appear clean or adequately disinfected. Some of these containers had a foul odour. The premises in its current condition is not adequately pest proofed and would allow entry of pests and thus allows an unacceptable risk for contamination of foodstuffs. This was evidenced by the following: Gaps were present at the front entrance door, and other structural points, including dishwasher ventilation duct and where pipe work was present in walls i.e. in the dish washing room, at the rear of the bread oven, in the wall above the macaroon making machine which would allow entry for pests, There was shrubbery and rubble in close proximity to the exterior wall of the premises, which can provide harbourage for pests. Ants were noted adjacent to the rear door underneath containers of crushed biscuit, and a slug was noted on the wall adjacent the dishwasher.

Debenhams, which operates 11 stores in the Republic, says its trading divisions, staff, suppliers and customers are unaffected for now after its lenders took control of the UK parent group this morning and placed it into administration.
Update : 9th April 2019 There has been much in the news about Debenhams and their chance of falling into administration. Today it has happened in that the company has now gone into administration and is in the hands of its lenders. Mike Ashley's deal of £200m was not accepted so lenders are now in control of the business, wiping out the shareholders. The £560m debt is being called. With almost £3bn pounds of sales last year, the company's shares have been suspended. It is expected that about 50 stores will close and there will be negotiations with the Landlords to reduce rents.
