Irish Road Haulage Association warns against planned road toll increases

Transport Infrastructure Ireland has confirmed that toll rates on most roads across the country will increase from January 1. The Irish Examiner reported that the planned increases will affect major routes including the M50 and the Dublin Port Tunnel, with price hikes applied across all vehicle categories. [1]

Drivers using a tag or video account on the M50 will see tolls rise by 10 cents. The Irish Road Haulage Association has criticized the decision as tone deaf, warning that higher transport costs will place additional pressure on businesses and lead to increased prices for everyday goods. [1]

The haulage association added that rising transport expenses will contribute to inflation for Irish households, as mounting operational pressures continue to affect the transport industry. [1]
