Revenue officers at Rosslare Europort seized approximately 24,500 litres of beer with a retail value of over €97,500 representing a potential loss to the Exchequer of more than €45,700.
The beer was branded Desperados, Carlsberg, Budweiser, Oranjeboom, Holsten Pills, Debowe, Karpackie, Kestrel, Lech, Perla, San Miguel, Skol, Stella, Tyskie and Zubr.
The consignment was seized following routine profiling aimed at identifying alcohol products that may be diverted onto the market without payment of the tax due.
The alcohol arrived in an accompanied trailer that had disembarked a ferry from Dunkirk, France. Following an investigation, both the trailer and the alcohol products were seized. Investigations are ongoing.
