Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 July 2012
818 Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the amount paid by the State in the 2010 to 2012 period for the operation of tolling systems on roads across the State; and any returns from these tolls to the Exchequer. [36095/12]
View answerThe statutory power to levy tolls on national roads, to make toll bye-laws and to enter into toll agreements with private investors in respect of national roads is vested in the National Roads Authority (NRA) under Part V of the Roads Act 1993 (as amended by the Planning and Development Act 2000 and the Roads Act 2007).
Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy's Question to the NRA for direct response. He should advise my private office if he does not receive a response within tem working days.
