Taoiseach was not warned about road toll hikes, says Eamon Ryan

Motorway toll charges across the country will rise to their maximum permitted price in the coming weeks.

The transport minister says that he did not warn the Taoiseach and Tánaiste that toll road prices would be increased.

Eamon Ryan said that he expected the increases in December, not November, and said that no deferral will be made of the price rises if it comes at the expense of spending more money on public transport.
