Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

National Roads, Light Rail and Metro: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Lorcan O'Connor:

As Deputy Currie mentioned in her introductory remarks, there was a study done on that some time ago. The technology exists for that and is operational in other countries but ultimately a policy decision would need to be made in relation to that. There is an opportunity now as we look at a general strategy towards tolling over the coming years, mindful of the fact a number of the PPP projects are coming to an end, that allows us to look at that once more. There is no technological or infrastructural impediment to delivering what the Deputy is speaking of, were a decision made to go down that route.
