Where people overpay a toll, that is included in the revenue of the toll operator. Dublin Bus, for example, has a scheme, a community initiative to which overpayments go. This is not legitimate revenue, really. I have received replies indicating that this is happening and the toll operators are putting this money into their own revenue. Will the TII structure into future contracts that this revenue is not retained? This is quantifiable and it is over the amount that is legitimately expected. We fund two organisations operating tolls in Limerick and on the M3 where the forecast is for less. It seems odd that they can collect more and that there are no consequences for that.
