Over 25,000 litres of beer has been seized on its way into Dublin Port.

Revenue officers uncovered the beer, estimated to be worth €165,000, after searching a foreign registered truck that had arrived in from Holyhead.

A man in his 20s who was driving the truck was questioned and the trailer containing 25,700 litres of beer was seized.

Revenue said the alcohol represented a potential loss to the Exchequer of over €65,800.

The Revenue investigation is ongoing.
