Tobacco with a value of €1.3 million has been seized at Dublin Port today in a huge find for Revenue.
The 1.8 tonnes of roll your own tobacco had arrived from the Netherlands and was labelled with the brand "Flandria" with a Lithuanian tax stamp. It was found during routine searching at the port by Revenue.
A Revenue spokeswoman said that the find was part of the ongoing operation targeting the sale and supply of illegal tobacco in Ireland. Anyone with information is being urged to contact Revenue.
