Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Motorway Toll Charges: Transport Infrastructure Ireland

Mr. Peter Walsh:

It is a protection to the taxpayer. The reason TII chooses to set the toll at the maximum is because we need the money for the operation and maintenance of the national road network. We have been given that mechanism by Government to raise money. If we do not avail of it and get that money from the toll, it would seem a bit disingenuous to be coming back to Government looking for money.
