Urgent recall issued for almost 200 ready-made meals sold in Irish supermarkets
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) announced this week that 198 ready made meals produced by Ballymaguire Foods and sold in Tesco, Centra, Supervalu, Aldi and elsewhere have been recalled due to the possible presence of a harmful bacteria.
The recalls affects a range of popular ready-made meals, which may pose serious health risks if consumed as they could contain Listeria monocytogenes, a potentially deadly bacterium that causes food poisoning.
The FSAI said: "Symptoms of Listeria monocytogenes infection can include mild flu-like symptoms, or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. In rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications.

"Some people are more vulnerable to Listeria monocytogenes infections, including pregnant women, babies, and people with weakened immune systems, including the elderly. The incubation period (time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing) is on average 3 weeks but can range between 3 and 70 days."
As a result, the FSAI is advising all shoppers to immediately check their fridge and freezers for any affected products and bin them immediately.
The food safety watchdog said that all pack sizes, all batch codes and all use-by dates with an establishment approval number of IE 4008 EC were recalled and that recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale.
Wholesalers/distributors have also been requested to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated products and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retailer customers.

Dublin family pushing to increase crucial services for people living with Alzheimer's
'The Alzheimer Society's Day Care has been an absolute lifeline for us.' Sylvia Mulhall is one of tens of thousands of Irish people living with dementia — and her family says that day services, as well as the nature of their mum's disease, has enabled the family to share her care. Now Sylvia's daughter Jenny Tobin is calling on the government to improve funding and support for people living with the disease. Over 64,000 people in Ireland live with dementia, with that number expected to increase in the years ahead. On September 21 —which is World Alzheimer's Day — thousands of Irish people will come together in locations across the country to remember and honour those living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia — and the families who stand beside them every step of the way. Alzheimer's sufferer Sylvia Mulhall with her husband Shay and daughter Caitriona Among them will be Sylvia's loved ones, who will fundraise for the services that have made such a difference to their lives. 'The Memory Walk is another way to bring us all together as a family, to go out to try and raise awareness,' says Jenny. 'We're lucky as a family that we're bonded, and that Mam isn't a wanderer and she's happy and content. 'There are other families who have it an awful lot harder and it's to raise awareness of how prevalent Alzheimer's has become, and it's going to become more and more prevalent in years to come.' Still, Jenny feels that more could be done by the State to support people with dementia and their loved ones. 'The services that we have now are nowhere near what they should be to look after patients with Alzheimer's,' she says. Alzheimer's sufferer Sylvia Mulhall with her husband Shay and daughter Caitriona News in 90 Seconds, Friday August 1 'We keep raising awareness and keep trying to raise money for it — they are vital services for the families. It's vitally important to give people supports — they need a rest, a break.' Jenny says that the fact that their mother's Alzheimer's has progressed slowly means she is cared for at home by husband Shay, who she married 57 years ago. The couple are supported by children Jenny, Caitriona and Jimmy as well as other family members. A day centre that Sylvia attends a few days a week has also made a huge difference. 'She lives at home with Dad, and only this last few months now, we have a carer that comes in four mornings a week. 'Three days a week, she goes to the Alzheimer Society of Ireland Day Care in Curlew Road, which is amazing. Read more 'The staff have been so welcoming and warm. It's like a home from home for us. 'They treat my Mam and all the other residents there with such dignity, care, respect, kindness. 'Every day she looks forward to going in. And my dad then gets a little bit of a break at home. 'They really have been an absolute and utter lifeline to us, mostly for Dad, because he's living there 24/7 — myself and my brother and sister are up and down all the time. It's Dad who's living the life of caring for mam, really, and they're both 81.' Though the disease has been hard for Sylvia and her loved ones, Jenny says the family takes great joy in the fact that their mother, from Chapelizod, Dublin, is content and has fun in her days. 'We'll hop in the car, and then I'll drive up to Lucan and get her a cone or a Turkish Delight bar of chocolate, and we have a spin around, and we might drive through the Strawberry Beds, and we sing a few songs and go in through Phoenix Park and then home. That hour just settles her then in the evenings. 'She's so funny and she still has that little bit of fun and wit about her. 'She doesn't always remember my name, she doesn't always remember Caitriona's name or Jimmy. 'When she doesn't remember, we don't get upset about it — it's just the Alzheimer's. It's not her. 'Once she is happy, the four of us are extremely happy.' Memory Walk, says Jenny, can be a bonding experience for families and carers who have a shared experience on the day. 'Everybody kind of gets each other. Everybody has empathy for each other. Some of the Alzheimer's clients can come along to the walk, and they can do, and everybody has a sense of patience. 'It's like a camaraderie, and everybody coming together for one cause and understands each other as a collective group of people together.' Memory Walk honours, remembers, and celebrates the 64,000 people in Ireland living with dementia, along with their families and carers. It also cherishes the memory of those who are no longer with us. In 2024, almost 3,500 walkers participated in Memory Walk and raised over €150,000, which helped fund vital services for people with dementia, including daycare, daycare at home, family carer training, social clubs, cafés, and a national helpline.

Health workers see inclusion as central to caring for patients
Training to raise awareness of diversity and inclusion among medical workers is boosting the quality of services being delivered to patients, says Dr Suzanne Crowe, president of the Medical Council. Dr Crowe, who works in paediatric intensive care, says that an inclusive medical workforce leads to greater understanding of patients' needs, culturally competent care, and ultimately, better health outcomes for patients. Speaking during Cork Pride 2025, which runs from July 26 to August 3, Dr Crowe says that she welcomes Pride events, which allow us to pause and reflect on the importance of accepting people for who they are. In this Q&A interview, Dr Crowe outlines some of the areas in which Irish health service providers have been very positive in ensuring diversity and inclusion in how patients are cared for, while also highlighting a number of areas where further improvements would be beneficial, notably further supports to help doctors with a disability to carry out their work effectively. Does the Irish medical profession see itself as actively diverse and inclusive? I think the medical profession does see itself as diverse, and increasingly inclusive. Medicine as a profession welcomes people from all walks of life, and there is increasing diversity in terms of gender and sexuality, so I would see it as being inclusive in this sense. In my opinion, we've made a lot of progress over the last couple of decades in certain areas, particularly in diversity of ethnic backgrounds, as well as from a gender balance point of view. The profession is increasingly seeing equal numbers of men and women working in medicine, in fact, we're seeing a shift towards it being more female-dominated in some specialisms. Our most recent (2024) Medical Workforce Intelligence data shows that the gender split among GPs in Ireland had slightly more females (52.4%) than males (47.6%). The majority of female GPs are between the ages 30 and 59, and older age brackets from there and above are dominated by males. This suggests that as older male GPs retire, the proportion of females in general practice will continue to grow. As well as this, in 2024 our clinically active medical workforce consisted of 13.8% of doctors who qualified in the EU/UK, and 27.8% who qualified outside of Ireland, the EU and the UK — meaning that 41.6% of our medical workforce qualified outside of Ireland. Without these doctors, our health system would collapse immediately. An area that could be improved upon is for doctors with a disability. Further supports should be put in place for doctors with a disability to carry out their work effectively. Overall, the profession does regard itself as diverse and inclusive. In what ways does the sector's openness help with attracting and retaining talent? The healthcare sector is very active in attracting talent, both in Ireland and abroad. Doctors are united as protectors of health — of the individual, and the community; and Ireland is now seen as an open, democratic, and progressive society to live in. That's why a career in medicine in Ireland can be rewarding for those who have experienced trauma or marginalisation for their beliefs, and are seeking to contribute to an inclusive, modern society. While openness brings many benefits to medicine, it's worth noting areas that still need attention, such as long working hours, working environment, and conditions. We may be attracting talent, but need to ensure we're retaining our workforce in Ireland by providing a sustainable environment to work in. Do you believe there is a link between having a diverse workforce and safer patient outcomes? I believe there is. As doctors, we should ensure that we advocate for trust, partnership and informed consent in our relationships with patients. The Medical Council carried out research in 2023, which showed that 80% of people feel it is important to be treated as a partner in their healthcare by their doctor. What this essentially means is that patients want their doctor to be approachable — someone they can bring personal concerns to. This same survey showed that people in Ireland believe that the elderly (57%), members of the travelling community (34%), refugees (33%) and immigrants (32%) are among the minority groups most at risk of receiving substandard care. Members of minority groups have unique healthcare needs and may find it easier to speak to a doctor who comes from a similar background. If the patient can relate to their doctor, they'll feel understood, in a safe space, and like their care will be approached in a non-judgemental way. This helps patients feel safe in communicating with their doctor, which helps the doctor to personalise their treatment plan and direct it to specific issues. It can help the patient to follow their plan when there's a good relationship. All these elements combined help to enhance patient care and improve patient safety. Does training help promote a more actively diverse and inclusive approach to recruitment? Training our future workforce at an early stage to have an open, empathetic approach to people of different backgrounds helps ensure that Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) awareness is already part of their understanding when they start work. Discrimination and lack of understanding can impede the path to compassionate healthcare. Bringing DE&I awareness to students throughout the lifecycle of the doctor from school into undergraduate and postgraduate education; will help doctors to address potential biases. Not only do they then have the awareness, correct language, and training about DE&I, but they'll eventually look to recruit that diversity into their own teams, because they know it'll increase inclusion, produce better working environments, and ultimately enhance patient care when treating patients of different backgrounds. Celebrating Pride also provides chances to educate and to learn, promote awareness and increase understanding of issues faced by the LGBTQI+ community. We saw a great turnout of doctors and healthcare workers from the HSE and LGBT Ireland for the Dublin Pride Parade a couple of weeks ago, and I have no doubt the representation will be strong for Cork Pride as well. LGBT Ireland's LGBT+ Champions programme is available to doctors and healthcare professionals to help understand the identities and advocate for their LGBTQI+ patients. These are provided by LGBT Ireland, the HSE, post graduate training bodies, universities, advocacy groups and charities.
