Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 May 2016
851. Deputy John Lahart asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the revenues from the M50 toll for the years 2010 to 2015 in tabular form; the different payment methods of motorists; and the total tolls paid by the different vehicular users of the M50, such as HGVs and cars, in tabular form. [12775/16]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. The planning, design and implementation of individual road projects is a matter for the Transport Infrastructure Ireland (formerly known as the NRA) under the Roads Acts 1993-2015 in conjunction with the relevant local authority.
More specifically, 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 vested in TII under Part V of the Roads Act 1993 (as amended by the Planning and Development Act 2000 and the Roads Act 2007).
Accordingly I am forwarding your question to TII for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
