About RAS
Retailers Against Smuggling (RAS) was set up in June 2009 to represent retailers in the fight against the black market in Ireland.
We have almost 3,000 retail members around the country and 15 corporate sponsors.
Our Aims
Action Plan
The RAS Charter: A ten point action plan to stamp out smuggling.
The unacceptable levels of cigarette and fuel smuggling in Ireland needs to be tackled in a multi-layered, cross jurisdictional manner, involving a wide range of Government departments and agencies. Tobacco and fuel should only be sold in registered retail outlets. Any other point of sale is illegal and should be dealt with as such.
10 Point Action Plan
RAS Team
A unified voice, RAS aims to halt and reverse the growth of the illicit trade in Ireland.
RAS is funded and kindly supported by corporate sponsors including: Applegreen; Barry Group; BWG Foods Ltd; Circle K; CPL Fuels Ireland; CSNA; DHL; Hardware Association of Ireland; Irish Tobacco Manufacturers Advisory Committee (ITMAC); NFRN; Nightline Group; Primeline Group; Retail Excellence; RGDATA; and Stonehouse.
