Cork Navy man mounts challenge to being reprimanded over duty free cigarettes

A member of the Irish Naval Service has launched a High Court action over being reprimanded for bringing too many duty free cigarettes on board the ship where he was serving.

The action has been brought by Eugene O'Toole arising out of an incident that occurred last September when he was serving on board the LE James Joyce, which at the time was anchored at the port of Valetta in Malta.
