Could a warning system be introduced for motorists who forget to pay the toll in order that they are contacted because that is one of the key issues I raised? I greatly appreciate the fact that it is a barrier free toll because if it was not, we would continue to experience the appalling traffic jams of the past on the M50 bridge. From that point of view, it is a great advance. However, it would be useful if a system could be in place to communicate clearly with people who have not paid, say, within a fortnight to urge them to pay as quickly as possible.

How much has eFlow raised from the tolling of the bridge? Where does the money go? I have an idea that it is going into the Government's coffers but I would appreciate it if the Minister could shed some light on that.
