Government to consider extending excise duty cuts on petrol and diesel to counteract toll increases

The Government could consider extending excise duty cuts on petrol and diesel in a bid to counteract rising toll costs for commuters.

Minister of State at the Department of Transport Hildegarde Naughton suggested that the Government will also talk to Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) about whether it would be possible to delay or scrap the increases.

TII announced this week that from January 1, 2023, all drivers heading through a toll will be hit with increased charges due to the current rate of inflation in Ireland. This will affect all 10 tolls across Ireland, apart from the Port Tunnel.
