A little dog called Waffle has sniffed out a massive consignment of tobacco at Dublin Port.

Revenue Officers, aided by the pup, have discovered €7.7 million of it.

They've seized the whole consignment.

So it consists of 12.5 tonnes of 'roll your own' tobacco, and Waffle helped Revenue find it yesterday.

They estimate that the packets could have cost the economy about €6.3 million.

It is branded 'The Turner Original', 'EastEnders', 'Henley' and 'Flandria.'

So someone sent the packages from Bulgaria to Ireland.

Meanwhile, Revenue is continuing it's investigations.

It says, "If businesses or members of the public have any information regarding smuggling."

"They can contact Revenue in confidence on free phone number 1800 295 295."
