Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 January 2005
566 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Minister for Transport if, under section 62 of the Roads Act, he is empowered to specify the persons who can be exempted from paying tolls; if he can further assist all disabled drivers who hold a valid disabled driver permit; and if he will investigate this issue further. [34299/04]
View answerThe making of toll schemes, toll by-laws and toll agreements in relation to national roads is a matter for the NRA. I understand from the NRA that in the toll by-laws for all toll roads, specially adapted vehicles for use by disabled people are exempt from tolls in line with the requirements of section 57(2) of the Roads Act to give special consideration to the question of exempting certain categories of road users and vehicles from tolls.
