Revenue officers at Rosslare Europort seized over 13,100 litres of wine during routine profiling earlier this week.
The smuggled alcohol, with an estimated retail value of over €247,400 representing a loss to the Exchequer of €148,800, had arrived in a foreign registered truck that had disembarked a ferry from France.
Investigations are ongoing with a view to prosecution.
These routine operations are part of Revenue’s ongoing work targeting the smuggling and shadow economy activity.
