A judge has imposed the fines on the motorists who ignored court prosecutions.
Some 11 motorists, described as M50 toll dodgers, have been hit with fines totalling €133,000.
A judge has imposed the fines on the motorists who ignored court prosecutions, despite thousands of warning letters for repeatedly avoiding payment of M50 tolls.
Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), the State agency dealing with road and public transport infrastructure, summonsed the motorists to appear at Dublin District Court today.
However, they didn't attend their hearings, which went ahead in their absence, and the judge handed out fines ranging from 6-thousand euro to 15-thousand.
Ten faced five sample counts, and the other defendant had three counts for unpaid tolls in 2021.
Nine involved private cars, and two used larger goods vehicles.
One goods vehicle owner had a record of 612 journeys, and just ten payments, and had been sent more than 1,000 letters.
On top of the fines, the judge ordered vehicle owners to pay €350 in prosecution costs within six months.
