Toll income on the M50, Ireland's busiest road, surged by 11% to €190m in 2023, on the back of an inflation-linked increase in toll charges and higher traffic volumes. iStock
Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and Land Rover are among of the makes of high-end luxury cars that have been seized by the Dublin Sheriff from motorists so far this year after racking up large bills for non-payment of M50 tolls.
The Dublin Sheriff seized 43 vehicles for the first six months of 2025, compared to 25 in the same period in 2024. In total, 70 vehicles were seized by the sheriff in 2024, through the civil process in the courts.
