Irish motorists on alert with toll charge hikes to kick in on New Year's Day

MOTORISTS ARE being warned to check the price of tolls before traveling on the M50 in the New Year.

Tolls on the M50, eight national roads and the Dublin Tunnel are set to increase in the new year, with the rate of charges changing on New Year's Day.

On the M50, toll prices are increasing by as much as 40c, depending on your type of vehicle and whether you use a tag, a video account or are unregistered.

On the national roads, the prices are increasing by as much as 50c, depending on your type of vehicle.

And to manage peak times, the toll prices at Dublin Port Tunnel are increasing by as much as €2 during peak hours.

The toll increases were announced today by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII). It said toll increases cannot exceed the rate of inflation.

In detail, for cars travelling on the M50, the toll is set to rise by 20c, to €3.70, for cars without tags or video accounts.

Motorists on the M50 with tags or video accounts will also see a 20c increase, to €2.50 and €3.10 respectively.

Tolls on the M1 (Dublin to Belfast), M7/M8 (Dublin to Cork/Limerick), M8 (Portlaoise), N6 (Kinnegad to Galway City), N25WF (Cork to Rosslare Europort via Waterford City) and N18-LT ( Limerick to Galway) will rise by 10c for motorcycles, 20c for cars and between 20c and 50c for larger vehicles.
