On Saturday, as a result of risk profiling, Revenue officers seized almost 19,800 litres of alcohol, with an estimated value of €80,400, at Rosslare Europort.
The illicit alcohol comprised approximately 19,600 litres of beer and 180 litres of prosecco, representing a loss to the Exchequer of almost €38,000.
