The Joint Committee on Transport and Communications has requested an urgent meeting with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) to discuss the reported increase in motorway toll charges from January 2023. This meeting will take place on Tuesday, 29 November.
Committee Cathaoirleach Deputy Kieran O’Donnell said: “The Committee is very concerned at reports that Transport Infrastructure Ireland has approved increases in toll charges on the M50 and the rest of the motorway network to take effect in January 2023. Members would like to hear from TII why it is increasing toll charges during a time of serious cost of living pressures, especially for motorists and businesses who are already dealing with the high price of fuel and related costs.”
The Joint Committee on Transport and Communications has 14 Members, nine from the Dáil and five from the Seanad.
