Written answers

I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that there is no record of a seizure of contraband cigarettes by Customs & Excise Officers on Saturday 11 March 2006 at the particular location referred to in the question.

However, Revenue records show that on Saturday 4 March 2006 a quantity (920) of cigarettes was seized on foot of a search warrant at a lock up premises in the area referred to in the question. The individual referred to was a lessee of the premises and was interviewed in connection with the seizure.
