No, I am referring to the possibility of a toll being introduced on the Northern Ireland side. If Irish taxpayers contribute £50 million towards a motorway project in the North, we should be given a commitment by the Northern Ireland or UK authorities that road users from the South will not face a toll. Many people cross the Border every day and nobody knows if a toll will be charged. These questions need to be answered before the project proceeds.
