Noel Dempsey (Meath West, Fianna Fail)

As I said, this is a contractual matter between the NRA and the tolling company. It is not one in which I, as Minister, have a direct control or say. Given that the matter may end up in court, I do not want to be in a position where I might jeopardise anything the NRA may do. As far as I am concerned, the cheaper the toll charges, the better for motorists.
