Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 February 2022
234. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Transport if Transport Infrastructure Ireland will investigate the issuing of toll penalties in error to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6549/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for overall policy and funding in relation to the national roads programme. Under the Roads Acts 1993-2015, the operation and management of individual national roads is a matter for Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), in conjunction with the local authorities concerned. Matters relating to the day to day operations regarding national roads, including toll roads and the establishment of a system of tolls, are within the remit of TII. More specifically, the statutory power to levy tolls, to make toll bye-laws and to enter into agreements with private investors are vested in TII under Part V of the Roads Act 1993 (as amended).
Noting the above position, I have referred the question to TII for a direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working day
