Cullen welcomes barrier-free tolling on M50

The Minister for Transport Martin Cullen is welcoming the introduction of barrier-free tolling on the M50 motorway.

Mr Cullen says the decision by the National Roads Authority to collect tolls through an electronic system will mean improved traffic flow for motorists.

The multi-lane free-flow system is expected to be in place by the summer of 2008.

The electronic toll scheme will be managed by the BetEire Flow company.
