Takeaway owner fined £2000 for rat infestation
The owner of a rat-infested takeaway on Belfast’s Shankill Road has been fined £2000 and given a two month suspended jail sentence for food and hygiene offences.
The 30-year-old proprietor, Fu Xue Xue, of the Emerald City Chinese was also ordered to pay £130 to the Belfast City Council.
The court heard a rat infestation that led to the charges had been eradicated. One of the rodents was seen during a council inspection.
Meanwhile, one of Northern Ireland’s biggest construction companies has been fined £10,000 when the second floor of Belfast’s new court building in Oxford Street collapsed injuring seven men. The firm, Karl Northern, admitted that there had been a “breakdown of communications” on the site. (CD)
