Are we paying too much in tolls?

Drivers in Ireland forked out over €478 million in road tolls last year. New figures released to Newstalk under the Freedom of Information Act have shown that Transport Infrastructure Ireland collected a record €212 million in M50 tolls last year - marking an 11.5% increase year-on-year. Port Tunnel revenues were €32 million in 2024, up from €28.8m in 2023. Meanwhile, the rest of the road network outside of Dublin collected €190m - increasing to €234m including VAT. So, where is the money going, and what do drivers think? Sean O’Neill, Director of Communications with Transport Infrastructure Ireland joins Kieran to discuss. Jason Cullen, Chairperson of the Dublin Commuter Coalition and Eugene Drennan, Spokesperson for the Irish Road Haulage Association also join to discuss.
