Revenue seizes alcohol worth over €15,500 in Dublin Port

Today (23/03/17), Revenue officers seized almost 1,250 litres of undeclared alcohol when, acting on intelligence, they searched a container that arrived into Dublin Port from Portugal.

The smuggled alcohol, 1,084 litres of wine and 164 litres of beer, has a retail value of more than €15,500, representing a potential loss to the Exchequer of more than €7,500.

The majority of people pay the right amount of tax and duty. If you know someone is evading tax or involved in smuggling, contact Revenue’s Confidential Freephone 1800 295 295.
