\"There <\/p>

There will be a \u20ac1 increase for those travelling southbound through the Port Tunnel during morning peak hours of 6am to 10am \u2013 rising from \u20ac13 to \u20ac14<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Transport Infrastructure Ireland has announced a number of increases to tolls across the national road network effective from 1 January next year.<\/p>\n

Among the roads to see increases will be the M50 and Port Tunnel in Dublin, which will see many road users charged an additional 10c.<\/p>\n

There will be a \u20ac1 increase for those travelling southbound during morning peak hours of 6am to 10am through the Port Tunnel \u2013 rising from \u20ac13 to \u20ac14.<\/p>\n

TII says this is to preserve capacity for HGVs, as non-HGV traffic continued to increase in 2025 during peak periods.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

All categories of vehicles using the M50 will experience an increase, TII said, except for unregistered motor cars without a tag or video account.<\/p>\n

Heavy goods vehicles exceeding 10,000kg holding a video account will see a 20c increase on the M50.<\/p>\n

Motorists using the M4 Kilcock to Kinnegad and M3 Clonee to Kells motorway will be affected by a 10c increase.<\/p>\n

There will also be a 20c increase on HGVs weighing over 3,500kg having 4 axels or more on the M4.<\/p>\n

TII said the price of tolls is regulated through an inflation mechanism and cannot go above inflation.<\/p>\n

It added tolls pay for TII’s “annual protection and renewal of national roads”.<\/p>\n

Sinn F\u00e9in TD Matt Carthy said the increase in tolls “simply should not go ahead”.<\/p>\n

Speaking at Leinster House, Mr Carthy said TII is “putting additional costs essentially on people getting to work”. <\/p>\n

He said the toll increase will come on top of other increases, including in carbon taxes, fuel and insurance costs.<\/p>\n

Mr Carthy said the Government should be supporting people rather than making their lives harder.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
