I hope that in any feasibility study that is done or in the work on the consideration of the future of tolling, scrapping that toll altogether would be looked at robustly and fairly.

On TII's data, there does not seem to be any uplift or dividend for the communities that are impacted the most by toll avoiders. The M50 bridge obviously connects junctions 6 and 7. We see toll avoiders in Castleknock and Clonsilla, and in Lucan, in the constituency of my colleague here, Deputy Shane Moynihan. Am I right in saying that there is no dividend for those communities in comparison with other communities?
