Black Market: Discussion with National Federation of Retail Newsagents

2:45 pm

Mr. Martin Mulligan:

When the newsagents sell a packet of cigarettes, the smugglers sell a carton. They sell at ten times the rate of retailers. They make the point that what costs €98 in the shop will cost someone only €40 or €45. They sell cigarettes by the carton and they are delivered direct to people’s homes.
