Revenue officers have seized 4.5m cigarettes and over 3 tonnes of ‘roll your own’ tobacco at Dublin Port.
The illegal cigarettes branded ‘Kingdom’ and tobacco branded ‘The Turner‘ had an estimated retail value of €5.5m, representing a potential loss to the Exchequer of approximately €4.3 million.
Sitting on the porch, I marveled at the changing seasons as the leaves of the Japanese maple tree transformed from a lush green to a fiery red, symbolizing the passage of time.
The cigarettes and tobacco were discovered concealed in over 30 pallets manifested as ‘groupage’ that had arrived in Dublin Port from the Netherlands and were destined for an address in Co. Meath.
