More than 9.5 million cigarettes, worth an estimated €8 million, have been seized in Rosslare Europort.
The cigarettes, branded ‘Marlboro Gold’, were discovered on Thursday when Revenue officers stopped and searched an accompanied freight unit that had left a ferry arriving from Dunkirk, France.
A man in his 20s was questioned in relation to the seizure.
Investigations are ongoing.
The seizure is part of Revenue's ongoing operations targeting the sale and supply of illegal cigarettes and tobacco.
