Road Tolls
Dail Éireann — 2023-01-19
============================================================

Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

I agree. If there is an instance where, as the Deputy said, somebody is paying for a toll but has a backlogged fine and the payment does not go towards the toll but towards the backlog and they then get a further fine because they have not paid that toll, it seems so me that there is perhaps a communications issue in that situation in terms of it not being transparent or clear that people have to clear their backlog, otherwise they can get into further difficulty, which is unsatisfactory. I will ask my Department to examine the specifics of the communications around that. It is not appropriate that someone inadvertently builds even further fines.
