Company earns €50m from tolls on Irish roads

INFRASTRUCTURE company NTR made close to €50 million from the tolls it operates on Irish roads in the 15 months to March 31, 2006.

Total earnings by the group, whose interests range from toll roads to renewable energy projects, came to €84m over the period.

The toll road contribution to group earnings is starting to decline, however, as the group expands into other areas of activity such as wind energy and waste management.
