A TOLL operator on one of the country’s busiest roads stands to make almost €1.4 million from overcharging motorists on the route, the National Roads Authority (NRA) claimed in the Commercial Court.

The country’s latest toll road opened in Co Cork today eight months ahead of schedule designed to take 17,000 vehicles a day out of Fermoy town centre.
