I am glad the Chairman raised Sallins and Osberstown and the N7. I remember a county engineer in Kildare calculating that approximately 80% of all the traffic that comes to or goes from Dublin comes through Kildare. When people avoid those roads there is additional traffic on minor roads in Kildare, which adds to the maintenance costs. There is a local as well as a national element.

It is very welcome that it will get going soon. To go back to the VAT issues, what is the percentage of VAT on tolls? What is the VAT on the €1.90 on the M50? Is it 23%?
