    No duty-free at all for travel within the EU. However, you are allowed to take as many cigarettes as you can carry from Manchester to Dublin, provided they are for your own personal use.

    But don't try smoking while air-borne!

    Probably a very silly question :o (I'm desperate) but would that mean that I couldn't bring my tobacco back to the UK?

    Yes you can bring any mount of tobacco to the UK from any other EEC country that you are travelling from. Providing it is for your own use, ie, not for resale.

    Remember you will have paid full price for the ciggies - as they are not duty free but duty paid.
