Popular Limerick restaurant Boojum was served with a closure order last month over concerns about sewage and wastewater in the basement. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) said that the order, which has since been lifted, was served on September 8 on Boojum’s restaurant and café on Patrick Street. The order related to the "accumulation of sewage and wastewater in the basement accompanied by a strong malodour.”A closure order can refer to the immediate closure of all or part of a food premises, and all or some of its activities. It was one of two closure orders issued last month, according to the FSAI. The inspection report noted that: “Evidence of rodent activity was found in the food storage room in the rear yard, posing a risk of contamination to food.
