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 position above, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NRA for direct response. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
