BREAKING: Kildare food business is forced to close because of 'drug dealing'

Damage caused to the Naas premises

Drug users have forced the closure of a food business in Naas.

Bosca Pizza, a relatively newly established take away food business off the main street in Naas, says it has closed because of anti-social behaviour.

Bosca Pizza at Abbey Street, was set up by two brothers and allows people to order pizza remotely. 

The notice placed on the door

Prospective customers can visit the premises at any time of the day or night and place orders via the instructions provided - or, alternatively, using a dedicated app.

The enterprise also has outlets at Newcastle, County Dublin and Castleknock in Dublin 15.

However, the Naas outlet has closed citing anti-social behaviour.

A notice attached to the door said that due to "incivility and drug dealing" it has had to close.

It also refers to “inaction from the authorities” which left it with no choice.

“We regret that the current circumstances have made this necessary but we can no longer (ensure) a safe environment  for customers and staff to operate,” the notice added.

Pictures posted on social media sites show some damage caused to the premises interior as well as apparent drug use.
