Public Accounts Committee

Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016

Mr. Michael Kennedy:

I think that was always the plan, that they would try to make Waterford more pedestrian friendly. I do not have exact figures but I would suggest that it has helped. I am aware that the truck traffic on the toll road has increased. The Deputy made reference to the level of the toll. Any toll level is going to cause diversion, there is no doubt about that. If the toll is reduced, one gets more traffic but revenue goes down. When the toll is increased, revenue increases even if traffic volumes are lower.
