Mr. Frank Gleeson:

They are taken from an industry-commissioned report which is prepared on a regular basis. To provide some background, the report is financed by the tobacco companies and the retail organisations in order to understand where the problem lies. Effectively, they go out and pick up packets of cigarettes from bins to figure out the numbers involved. This is probably best described as non-duty-paid tobacco because in some cases the tobacco is brought in from abroad in vast quantities without any duty being paid. It is not the 200 cigarettes people bring back from their holidays; it is the suitcases full of cigarettes that we see being seized in quantity at Dublin Airport. The report also includes the counterfeit products that come from China, Taiwan and such places. I will pass on the report.
