I was reading a report the other evening about pike roads in 1787 in Dublin where a shilling and eightpence was charged for horses to travel on them. These were the original toll roads. Did the interdepartmental committee consider the question of opening the tolled Kilcock-Kinnegad motorway? This major piece of infrastructure will be the only section of motorway on which there will be two tolls. If one were travelling to the airport, one would pass three tolls. Did the interdepartmental committee consider this option? Does the Taoiseach have a view on whether the toll is equitable given that no toll is charged on the route from Dublin to Wexford, Waterford, Cork or Limerick?
