More than 25,400 litres of illicit beer has been seized by customs officials at Dublin Port.
Revenue said the “Perla” branded drinks were worth about €101,300 and represented a potential tax loss of €47,400 because it was not declared.
The cargo was found on Tuesday during a search of a Romanian registered truck and trailer that had disembarked a ferry from Holyhead, Wales.
“The consignment was seized following routine profiling aimed at identifying alcohol products that may be diverted onto the market without payment of the tax and duties due,” officials said.
