Question 482: To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will investigate the reason the electronic tolling facility at the M8 toll bridge at Watergrasshill, County Cork, does not register some electronic tags which work at every other toll bridge in the country; if he will instruct the operator of the toll bridge to rectify this problem; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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 National Roads Authority (NRA) under Part V of the Roads Act 1993 (as amended by the Planning and Development Act 2000 and the Roads Act 2007).

Noting the above position, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NRA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
