Toll charges are increasing across the country this weekend.
The M50 will see an increase of up to 30c per vehicle on current prices. The Port Tunnel will be unaffected by the changes, which are kicking in on July 1.
The toll increases are being introduced following a six month deferment by the Government. The cost of the deferral was estimated to be around €12.5 million.
For a car, M50 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.

Transport Infrastructure Ireland said: "The Governments six-month deferment of toll increases will conclude on June 30 and standard regulated toll in line with the inflationary increase will take effect on July 1 All tolls on the national road network are regulated through inflation (CPI) and cannot go above inflation.
"There are ten toll roads on the national road network - eight are operated under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) model and two are operated directly on behalf of Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), which are the M50 and Dublin Port Tunnel.
"Toll revenue is used for purposes including motorway maintenance, toll collection and operations, and for the maintenance of the wider national road network.
"Toll increases for 2023 are driven by the current rate of inflation. The CPI increased by 8.6% between August 2021 and August 2022."
