Revenue seizes over 600 litres of alcohol at Dublin Port
They made the seizure a couple of days before St Patrick’s Day celebrations kick off.
REVENUE HAS UNCOVERED more than 600 litres of undeclared alcohol at Dublin Port this week.
Revenue officers searched a truck as it arrived into Dublin from Holyhead as part of an intelligence-led operation.
Officers seized 200 litres of beer and 408 litres of wine, which has a retail value of over €6,700, representing a potential loss to the Exchequer of more than €3,300.
A man in his 40s was questioned and investigations are ongoing with a view to prosecution.
The seizure is part of Revenue’s on-going operations targeting the illegal importation, supply and sale of alcohol in the shadow economy.
The majority of people pay the right amount of tax and duty.
