These tolls are a con job.
If you avoid the M50 toll just once after the hike, 31 other vehicles must make the journey before their lost toll revenue is made up.
Avoid it as a protest.
The M3 toll way is no quicker than the old road from Navan to Virginia. In fact, the tolled journey is longer in distance, uses more fuel and costs1.50 for the privilege.
Leo Varadkar has lost touch with reality. The cost of living is up only because of energy prices and insurance levies. When interest rates go up and mortgages increase, up go the tolls again.
I drive from donegal reguarly and trust me the m3 is way quicker! At least 20 mins quicker
I drive from donegal regularly and trust me the m3 is way quicker! At least 20 mins quicker
I wouldn mind the 10c if it was going to pay out debt but the tolls are private and its just to inverse profits..I always check aa route planner and always shows going threw toll the fastest you would probably use more in fuel avoiding it not to mention the extra hassle
have your say
