Question 104: To ask the Minister for Transport if and when he intends to publish the toll scheme for the operation of the Dublin Port tunnel; when the tunnel will be open for use; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26083/05]

The statutory power to levy tolls on national roads and to make toll by-laws is vested in the National Roads Authority, NRA, under Part V of the Roads Act 1993, as amended by the Planning and Development Act 2000. Accordingly I have no role in this process. I understand from the NRA that the primary construction work on the port tunnel is expected to be completed in December 2005 and that the tunnel will be open to traffic by mid-2006, following the testing and commissioning of the tunnel's operations and safety features.
