I should explain that the statutory power to levy tolls on national roads, to make toll bye-laws and to enter into toll agreements with private investors in respect of national roads is vested in the NRA under Part V of the Roads Act 1993 (as amended by the Planning and Development Act 2000).

The negotiations between the NRA and NTR on the ending of the latter's involvement with the Westlink facility are not concluded and I do not propose to comment on that matter at this juncture.
