Documents released under the Freedom of Information Act show toll companies collected €190 million euro last year – up 11 percent on 2023.
Out on the M50 – which is operated by Transport Infrastructure Ireland – just under €211 million euro was collected – which means 2.1 billion has been collected since the removal of the West Link Toll Bridge in 2008.
Of the Public-Private Partnerships – the M1 out in Dundalk was the biggest revenue generator, collecting €50 million euro including VAT.
That’s followed by the M4 at Kinnegad which collected €46.9 million.
Further analysis found that between 2011 and 2022 - a combined €78 million euro has been paid by the State to the operators of the N18 as well as the M3 in County Meath – in order to make up a shortfall in traffic passing through those tolls.
Dublin’s Port Tunnel, also operated by TII, collected €32 million – meaning it has brought in a total of 288 million euro since 2006.
