A MAN IN HIS 40s was stopped and questioned at Dublin Port today while he was attempting to board a ferry to Holyhead.
The Revenue Commissioners said that as a result of an intelligence-led operation, they seized €168,000 from the Irish man.
Judge Michael Walsh in the Criminal Courts of Justice granted a three month detention order so that the Revenue officers could carry out further investigations.
