Ten motorists were fined just over €135,000 after dodging M50 tolls, including a driver who never paid for almost 700 journeys on the motorway.

They did not attend their scheduled Dublin District Court hearings today and Judge Anthony Halpin imposed fines ranging from €500 to €25,000 in their absence.

In each case, he heard evidence of the motorists' level of engagement with the M50 operators and vehicle ownership history. A TII witness confirmed each vehicle's ownership records, the number of passages, and payment history.It also had images of all the vehicles passing the toll gantry.However, the motorway authority's practice is to pick habitual non-payers for criminal proceedings.
