Heavy toll on new motorway to Dublin

HOW sad to read (Irish Examiner, January 31) that the Government is to persist with road tolls.

Users of the M50 have surely suffered enough, having paid for the toll bridge many times over only to be rewarded with gridlock and pollution.

The Government’s policy of tolling all before it is sickening when simple facts speak for themselves: we pay nearly €4 billion in motoring-related taxes, yet only €1.7 billion of this is spent on roads.
