Drivers will pay more to use certain toll roads from January.

The M50 and Dublin Port Tunnel are among those being hit with increases.

It currently costs €13 to use the southbound tunnel between 6am and 10am.

That will increase to €14 from the start of 2026.

Motorists using the M50 will pay an extra 10 cent for their journey, unless they have a tag or registered account.

For goods vehicles exceeding 10,000kg, the price is going up by 20 cent.

Outside of Dublin, on the M3 and M4, private car users will notice an increase of 10 cent, while the price for motorbikes remains the same.
