Revenue officials have seized 41,000 cigarettes and 27 kilos of tobacco in Cork.

The haul has a retail value of €32,000, and represents a potential loss to the Exchequer of over €25,000.

The discovery was made in the north of the city last night with the assistance of Revenue's sniffer dog Harvey.
