The Revenue Commissioners have recently established a dedicated Freephone Line where members of the public can report details or concerns re smuggled cigarettes.  The availability of smuggled cigarettes not only affects the economy of this country and represent a significant health risk, they also help to support organised crime.  The confidential freephone is at 1800 295 295.
