Honest Dungannon traders are being 'ripped off' by others in the town selling 'under-the-counter' cigarettes at a reduced price.

That's according to Ulster Unionist MP Tom Elliott, who has said there's a great deal of work still to be done by the Government to tackle the UK's large illicit tobacco market.

"I have established through an answer to one of my Parliamentary questions, that the tax gap made up by the illicit tobacco market was estimated to be £2.4 billion in 2015-16," he said.
