Smuggled cigarettes bound for NI

A man is being questioned after millions of smuggled cigarettes were seized in the Irish Republic.
Irish customs officials seized between five and six million cigarettes on the M1 near Dundalk, County Louth. It is believed they were destined for NI.
They were hidden in a container which arrived in Dublin Port from Barcelona. The seizure was made on Monday morning.
The Irish authorities said 1.6m euros would have been lost through the sale of the untaxed cigarettes.
