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, including the M50, 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).

As regards the proposed buy-out of the Westlink Toll Bridge, negotiations between the National Roads Authority and National Toll Roads are not concluded and I do not wish to pre-empt their outcome.
