More than nine and a half million cigarettes worth almost €8 million were seized at Rosslare Europort on Thursday.
The cigarettes, branded ‘Marlboro Gold’, were discovered when Revenue officers stopped and searched an accompanied freight unit that had disembarked a ferry arriving to Co Wexford from Dunkirk, France.
A man in his 20s was questioned in relation to the seizure.
Revenue officers say the cigarettes haul came as a result of “risk profiling” at the harbour, with investigations ongoing.
