Cigarette smuggling on the rise in Dublin
Cigarette smuggling is on the rise in Dublin, a retailer lobby group have claimed.Retailers against Smuggling Spokesperson Benny Gilsenan said the crime is “rampant” in the capital and is having a severe effect on small businesses.”Small shops are being forced to close down because of illegal trade,” he said.”It’s not just the profit from the cigarettes, it’s the fact that smokers are not coming in to buy other things like a bottle of water here, a pack of crisps there.”A recent report published by Grant Thornton pointed to rising tax rates as a driving factor in the tobacco smuggling trade.
