600 Litres Of Alcohol Have Been Seized At Dublin Port

Looks like someone was getting ready for some heavy, heavy boozing for tomorrow's festivities, as Revenue have seized more than 600 litres of smuggled alcohol from a truck at Dublin Port.

The haul, which includes 200 litres of beer and 408 litres of wine, had a retail value of over €6,700.

The truck was searched as part of an intelligence-led operation as it entered Dublin from Holyhead.

The seizure of alcohol represents a potential loss to the Exchequer of over €3,300, and Revenue are urging people who know someone who is evading tax or involved in smuggling, to report it by contacting Revenue’s Confidential Freephone 1800 295 295.

A man in his 40s was questioned in regards to the alcohol, and investigations are ongoing with a view to prosecution.
