ON TUESDAY, REVENUE officers seized 8.3 million contraband cigarettes, in an operation that involved their new x-ray machine and a detector dog named Grace.
The cigarettes have an estimated retail value of €4 million, and would have cost the Exchequer a total of €2.9 million.
The consignment had arrived in Dublin Port from China, via Rotterdam.
Cigarettes branded under the names Richmond, Eton and Gold Classic were found inside a shipping container.
The consignment was said to have been carrying “clothing”.
