Taoiseach says transport minister examining 'how best to deal' with rise in toll charges

When raised with the Taoiseach today, Martin said the transport minister is “examining these issues in terms of how best we can deal with that situation”. Should the Government step in, they could have subsidise toll operators to the tune of €25 million, which would be “a very significant amount of money”, added the minister’s spokesperson.

Ryan just gave an extra 80mil euro to COP. That would have paid for 4 years toll increases. We are already paying above our weight in climate dues. Euro Minister gave 5mil to some other crowd yesterday. I thought we owed about 300 billion. Where is all the cash coming from

Govt to look at 'easing pressure' of toll rise - MartinTaoiseach Micheál Martin has promised that the Government will examine ways to 'try to ease the pressure on people' facing increased road toll charges next year. If only there was some way that the government could lower taxes and stop dumping hordes of unemployable foreigners on us to pay for... Dreams!
