Over €65,000 worth of marked mineral oil was seized in Tipperary this week.
Revenue officers discovered 45,000 litres of the illicit fuel during the search of a haulage yard – this represents a potential loss to the Exchequer of approximately €34,800.
A man in his 30s has been questioned following Tuesday’s incident.
Separately last week and also as a result of risk profiling, Revenue officers seized nearly 25,000 litres of beer with an estimated value of over €99,000 at Rosslare Europort.
The illicit beer, of multiple brands, represents a potential loss to the Exchequer of more than €46,400.
Investigations into both seizures are ongoing.
