Financial Statements 2011 - National Roads Authority (7 Feb 2013) Robert Dowds: I have personally found eFlow to be very unresponsive when the public has a problem. I recently had to make representations for a constituent who was alleged to have built up a series of unpaid toll crossings. The company was extremely difficult to deal with even though the man in question had a letter from the Garda accepting that he had not crossed the bridge. It eventually accepted that...

Financial Statements 2011 - National Roads Authority (7 Feb 2013) Robert Dowds: It was difficult to find the phone number, but I found it eventually. I think the number should be displayed on the boards one sees when one crosses the West Link bridge. It would be useful if a phone number or an e-mail address, which people could access if they have problems, were provided on the boards that say "pay your toll by 8 p.m. tomorrow". It must be extremely difficult for...

I welcome the NRA's decision to proceed rapidly with that project, but what concerns me is the question of the democratic input. A unanimous decision was made by South Dublin County Council, which was supported by both elected councillors and officials, some years ago that...
