I recognise the huge improvement the NRA has made to the national road network. Some of that money should have been used to improve public transport in cities, but the improvement in the roads has greatly helped.

I was interested in the answers given to Deputy O'Donnell. The subvention that must be paid for the M3 has been increasing. I have not used that road very often but it is curious that there are two tolls on the road. If I drive from my house in west Dublin to north Meath, where my mother is from, I must pass through three tolls, one on the M50 and the two on the M3. What is the logic of having two tolls on that road? In Deputy McGuinness's neck of the woods, there is no toll on the motorway to Kilkenny and Waterford.
