115. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the current contractual arrangements pertaining to the East Link toll bridge in Dublin; his plans to further expand the capacity of the bridge and its surrounding roads; if he foresees the ending of tolls on the East Link toll bridge in the near future; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The East Link toll bridge was opened in October 1984.  It was built on foot of an agreement between Dublin City Council and NTR and therefore my Department has no function in the matter.  You may wish to contact Dublin City Council directly on the matter.
