More than 540 litres of wine, beer and spirits was seized at Dublin Port over the weekend and this morning.

Revenue discovered the alcohol in a van and two trucks that had disembarked ferries from the UK.

The three drivers - all men in their 30s and 40s - have been questioned in connection with the seizures.
