Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised that the Revenue Commissioners are in the process of reviewing their confidential channels available to the public to report illegal activity in relation to tobacco, including smuggling and illegal selling. The provision of a confidential email address is one option which is under consideration. I am also advised that Revenue have a confidential tobacco telephone/hotline that is available on a 24-hour basis. Members of the public are encouraged to contact this hotline 1800-295-295 with any information pertaining to illegal activity.
