Joint Committee on Transport and Communications to meet with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) to discuss toll increases and on-going projects

Committee Leas-Chathaoirleach Senator Gerry Horkan said: “ahead of the scheduled increase in toll charges on the M50 and eight other motorways on July 1^st, our meeting tomorrow will allow our Committee to directly engage with the State roads operator, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) to get as much detail as possible on the decision. We will look to TII to outline why, after the 6 month delay imposed by the Government, the increases are still necessary.

The Transport Committee will also be engaging with Transport Infrastructure Ireland on other on-going projects.”

The meeting in Committee Room 2 can be viewed live on Oireachtas TV.

The Joint Committee on Transport and Communications  has 14 Members, nine from the Dáil and five from the Seanad.
