Garage owner faces closure over nude calendars

A GARAGE owner who works on his own has been ordered by the Health and Safety Authority to remove calendars featuring photos of topless women or face possible censure.

Following a visit from an inspector, the Limerick businessman was contacted by letter warning him to remove the photographs of “nude/topless women” immediately. The letter claimed the calendars contained a “display of pornographic material at the place of work”, which is not allowed.

A spokesperson from the Health and Safety Authority confirmed it had written to the 62-year-old businessman advising him of a “dignity at work issue”.
