    This is probably not the right forum to ask? but my new neighbour of 6 months sells tobacco out of his house , and TBH I'm sick of people knocking on my door looking for him at the most random times , how do I report him to revenue? is there a number for such a thing and if I do report him is it anonymous?

    Call customs in Revenue. They have a special 1800 number for it, but I cant find it. I think it might be the same one for drugs

    I'd say leave it but in the case of people calling to your house your probably better off reporting him.

    why not ??

    does it make a difference if its drugs or illegal cigarettes ? ...its still illegal and people like him are the reason the rest of us get hit with more and more taxes.

    it's the other way around, more and more taxes are the reason people like him are growing in number.

    IMO yes it does make a difference.it's not crystal meth he's peddling just a few cartons of smokes making a few quid,I take it your not a smoker cause if you were you'd be a customer I reckon.

    It never fails to astound me that people think this is harmless. The money is just as likely to be flowing into something more sinister from cigarettes and cannabis as it is from coke and heroin.

    so where do you draw the line ?? is selling weed ok, how about lsd ? angeldust ?? coke (the snorting kind - not the drinking kind)....its illegal for a reason ?

    is it ok to break the law on having a gun illegally ? (even if no-one gets killed or injured)

    what about selling fake Nike/Adidas or Rolex .... what about genuine stuff like a breitling watch or something else thats been stolen ? is there a difference to sell it if you didn't steal it or if you did steal it ? either way its still handling stolen property !!

    the laws are there to make society work properly - breaking the laws kinda fecks it up for the rest of us.

    Do it in the most distant way possible , as you may have a conscience problem afterwards .

    And could have other problems too, if your neighbour finds out it was you .

    Your best to ignore it completely , and get on with your life , and stop worrying about others lives .

    What makes you so sure it's just cigarettes that are being sold? Nobody is going to come knocking at your door inquiring where is the drug dealer! You don't know the full extent of what's going on there. You don't know what type of people this activity is attracting into your area, or how it will develop if allowed to continue. Better nipped in the bud - i.e. report to police.

    IMO, too many of us lack the courage to do what needs to be done. It's a criminal activity that's going on, and if not checked, who knows what it can develop into. Of course, you would need to go the anonymous route - and even then, you could have some fallout from your actions. But, if you don't take action, you may have a much greater problem in years to come, if you are still living there. Greed is an appetite that increases with time. If they have built up a customer base, who knows where they are going to take it from there.

    No. People like Enda Kenny are the reason we get hit with more and more taxes.

    you really think Enda Kenny makes a decision about taxes in this country ??

    Civil Servants, the troika, Angela Merkel ...maybe ... but don't try to give Enda Kenny the credit for increasing taxation !!
