The Revenue Commissioners has warned about the dangers of fake alcohol, saying that illegally counterfeited drinks can have severe and fatal effects.
It warned today that the production of counterfeit alcohol is illegal and constitutes tax evasion, and poses a health risk as the product is not the subject of quality control and its sale is not regulated.
In 2011, there were two convictions and fines of €5,500 imposed for counterfeiting alcohol – this is down from six convictions and €22,000 in fines in 2010.
