Tolls on Irish roads to rise to ‘maximum’ price allowed from January

Under the new pricing regime, tolls for cars on the M50 will rise for the first time in a decade from €2.10 for tag users to €2.30. For drivers captured on video going through the barrier-free toll, fares will jump from €2.70 to €2.90.Vans, trucks and buses will also see toll increases. Tagged goods vehicles and buses will be charged €3.20, up from €3, €3.80 on video, an increase of 30 cent, and €4.40 if unregistered, up from €4.10.

On the M4 the toll for cars will rise from €3 to €3.20. For buses and LGVs it will go from €4.50 to €4.90, while larger lorries face increases from €6 to €6.50 and from €7.30 to €7.90.In a statement, TTI said all tolls on the national road network “are regulated through inflation [Consumer Price Index] and cannot go above inflation”.

On the M50, he added that it was a “user pay-funded motorway” and that tolls funded its maintenance and operation. TII confirmed the eight public-private partnership companies running the other motorways “submitted their toll charge calculations as part of their annual toll plans”.

Absolute joke. Paying for roads that dont even function.

Time to follow other countries and stop paying these

Stop paying it everyone it’s a scam .

Are french company owns the m50 toll !!! WTF STOP PAYING IT , it was paid for years ago .

Why not..getting it yet pricing the little person off the road,with petrol/ diesel prices,road tax etc.. While they drive around in cars paid for by YOU. Control

How much did the Govt. pay to these toll operators during Covid, when traffic was considerably lower. I understand there's a minimum traffic volume set into the agreements, if it's not met, the Govt. make up the difference, i.e. the public! We use we pay, we don't use, we pay 🙄

Hammering the motorist is the favourite pass time of this FF/FG/ Green cabal .

Madness that going from Lucan to Blanch will cost €3.50 yet going Lucan to Carrickmines costs €0.00. There should be smaller tolls along the road, or at each exit, not just a toll for the a penalty on the Lucan and Blanchardstown areas!

People are being penalised for going to work

Absolutely criminal, these roads are paid for 10 times over and still they fleece us every way they can.

Ah yes, that's what we need. More arbitrary price pressure on transport. That'll make everyone's life easier and help bring prices down.

Until there’s a new maximum.
