Written answers

The State's share of the West-Link gross toll revenue, also referred to as the licence fee, in each of the years 2001-03 is set out as follows. The licence fee payable in a year is based on the previous year's traffic volumes and is paid in May of the following year. Consequently the licence fee payable for 2004 is not as yet available. 2001 €9,219,706; 2002 €7,584,901; 2003 €8,044,361; 2004 not payable until May 2005.

In addition, the State benefits from VAT on tolls since September 2002. Fingal County Council also benefits from commercial rates.
