Toll charges are set to increase from the beginning of July - and the M50 will see an increase of up to 30c per vehicle on current prices.

For a car that will mean tolls will go from €3.20 for an unregistered vehicle up to €3.50. For those with video tolling it will go from €2.70 to 2.90 and tagged cars will increase 20c from €2.10 to €2.30.
According to TII it is the first increase for vehicles with tags for ten years, RTE reports. The toll increases are being introduced following a six month deferment by the Government.
