Irish authorities seized 9 million smuggled cigarettes at Rosslare Europort in Co. Wexford this week following a routine Revenue search. The haul, from a truck and trailer arriving on a ferry from Dunkerque, France, consisted of Richmond King Size cigarettes with an estimated value of over €8 million, representing a potential loss of more than €6.4 million to the Irish exchequer. A man in his 40s was questioned in connection with the seizure, and investigations are ongoing.
