Vol. 417 No. 6

Written Answers. - National Roads Toll Charges.

Ivan Yates

Ceist:

26 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for the Environment if he will clarify any Government proposals for the coming years in relation to the imposition of toll charges on national roads.

A statement of Government policy on toll based private investment was set out in Annex 8 of the road development plan, 1989 to 1993 (PI. 6482). Apart from the provision in Part V of the Roads Bill, 1991, which proposes to assign tolling powers in relation to national roads to the National Roads Authority, there has been no fundamental change in that policy. Pending completion by the Oireacthas of its consideration of that Bill, specific tolling arrangements for any road would be a matter, in the first instance, for the relevant road authority.
