Tackling the Black Market and Retail Crime Report: Discussion
10:40 am
Mr. Stephen Lynam:
I would not pick any particular group. One interesting story we heard, although it is anecdotal rather than gospel, is that a production facility in China was found to be producing a brand of cigarette that is available only in Ireland. Such was the level of demand and the clear customer base that a production facility in the Far East was producing a range of cigarettes that were sold only here and not in any other market. That is the scale of the problem.
