Manufacture, Storage and Sale of Ice Cream.
Nine applications for premises to be registered for the storage and
sale of ice cream were received and considered by the Public Health
Committee. With two exceptions all were granted.
In one case the firm's storage arrangements were considered unsatisfactory.
They decided not to proceed with the application. The
second application to which exception was taken came from a greengrocer.
In accordance with the provisions of Section 19 of the Food
and Drugs Act, 1955, the Committtee served a time and place notice
upon the applicant inviting him to appear before them to show cause
why the local authority should not, for reasons specified in the notice,
refuse the application. The applicant did not avail himself of this
opportunity, consequently no further action was taken.
