Catherine Murphy (Kildare North, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the decision to lift the toll barriers on the M50 by buying out National Toll Roads with taxpayers' money and substitute the physical barriers with a monthly or quarterly bill through the letter box. Daily commuters living and working in the catchment of the M50 are the target audience for what will amount to an additional tax in excess of €900 per year on what will become a wholly publicly owned distributor road.
