Mr. Niall Cody:

The seizure in Jenkinstown was the first time we discovered an illegal tobacco factory. We sent a series of photographs to the committee because people do not realise what is involved in these operations. We sent the photographs to the committee to show what the factory looked like. It was a shed in a farmyard. The committee can see those photographs now.
