Dail Éireann — 2022-11-22

Matt Carthy (SF), Cavan-Monaghan

It is incredible that the Minister for Transport, Deputy Eamon Ryan, was aware of the proposal to hike toll charges and he failed to stop them immediately. He said yesterday morning he was reluctant to tackle toll rises if it would come at a cost to other priorities. I have to put it that the priority now should be to support workers and businesses facing a cost-of-living crisis and certainly the Government should not be worsening that crisis by hiking the cost of getting to work. Last night the Minister, Deputy Ryan, said he was examining the matter. We have heard that before. Will the Taoiseach give a commitment today in the Dáil that the proposed hike in toll charges will not go ahead as planned?
