A food stall in Donegal Town was one of 17 businesses closed by the Food Safety Authority in August.
The Akatshi Grill at Pier Car Park in Donegal Town was one of five closure orders issued under the FSAI Act 1998
A further 10 businesses were shut down under European food regulations.
Prof Alan Reilly, chief executive of the authority, expressed his disappointment at the lack of vigilance by some owners in ensuring their food businesses were fit for purpose and fully compliant with food safety legislation.
“The legal onus is on food businesses to ensure that the food they serve is safe to eat in accordance with the legislation.
“There is absolutely no excuse for negligent practices,” said Prof Reilly.
