Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 June 2013
1097. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide, in tabular form for the years 2011, 2012 and to date in 2013, the total revenues raised by late payment penalties to eFlow; and the number of vehicle owners who were subject to additional late penalties to eFlow during this period. [27489/13]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, as Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have overall responsibility for policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. The implementation of individual national road schemes which provide for tolling, is a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993-2007. Moreover, the 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 very specifically vested in the NRA under Part V of the Roads Act, 1993 (as amended).
In order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I am referring his Question to the NRA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
