Minister Rules Out Toll Reductions For Midlands Commuters

Robert Troy is advocating for student travel refunds to ease commuting costs.

The Transport Minister says he has no plans to lower the cost of tolls for people commuting to Dublin from the Midlands.

His comments come in response to a question from Longford-Westmeath TD Robert Troy who is also asking a refund scheme for students commuting to universities.

Minister Daragh O'Brien says he now plans to review toll costs for any particular group of road users.

He's pointing to toll revenue as a "key income stream" for maintenance and development of the road network.
