A Carlow spokesperson said the university acted quickly to bring everything back up to code. An exterminator was brought in, bait traps were placed, the holes were sealed up and the area was cleaned.

“We did respond. We take it seriously. Food safety is something that is crucial to any university, and it’s certainly crucial to Carlow,” the spokesperson said.
