MORE THAN A million illegally smuggled cigarettes were seized at Dublin Port yesterday.
Revenue estimate that the value of the haul is €516,000 with a potential loss to the exchequer of €430,000 in taxes.
The ‘Benson & Hedges’ branded cigarettes were concealed in a roll-on roll-off container that arrived into Dublin Port from the United Arab Emirates and were falsely declared as ‘foil containers’.
Revenue say that they are working with agencies both in Ireland and abroad to following the seizure which came as part of ongoing investigations into the organised crime gangs involved in smuggling.

It was a petrol bomb but I think we’re missing the point here. How is the wee girl and has anyone been apprehended for this vicious act. ?
I think this story is about a device being thrown at a 4 yr old child….if your that desperate for detail or accuracy read a Tim Pat Coogin book
I just like to know the story and the real facts. A pipe bomb is far more deadlier than a petrol bomb. Is it too much to ask for the right information?
Pipe bomb or Petrol bomb? They are two different things!
Its sectarian so its a sect bomb sect bomb shane your sect bomb
Should be no bombs of any kind thrown by anybody. Wtf is going on there. When are decent people going to get the chance to have peace all year round and the opportunity to prosper side by side.
I can confirm that it was definitely a petrol bomb.
The Nationalist Short Strand enclave under attack once more
Its hardly the west bank anymore fella
Sometimes it takes forensics a bit of time to establish the true nature of the device..meanwhile the story is breaking so sometimes we have to expect some detail lacking/errors.
Funny the way the journal didnt report on the petrol bomb that was fired from Short Strand into Cluan place the other day. Biased media.
Cool, there we have it a Petrol bomb. Feel a whole lot better knowing :)
You’re mental David. Grow up. Have you any kids of your own. You don’t want anyone throwing any kind of bombs at your kids. And it wouldn’t make any difference if a child was blown up or burnt to death to grieving parents or siblings.
Will this crazy thing ever ends in NI?
have your say
