Who to report counterfeit goods to?

Is there an Irish equivalent of Trading Standards in the UK? Have just joined a fitness club on a trial and they are selling cosmetics, clothes, bags and jewellery that are clearly fake. This makes me very uncomfortable...is there anywhere I can report this to?

You could try contacting the reps or owners of the original brands here in Ireland.

Too many brands involved...makeup, jewellery, handbags, clothes...quite staggering really!

Customs would probably be you best bet - they deal with counterfeit/pirated goods, in particular try the International & Trade Security Branch of Customs in Nenagh on 06763299.
