National Road Network "Usage Charge" Being Examined By The State

Commuters would be charged 38 euro to drive from Maynooth to Dublin.

A 'road usage charge' is the latest scheme being examined to meet an expected shortfall in revenue as motorists switch to electric vehicles.

The proposal would see drivers charged for using the national roads network.

The Irish Daily Mail reports it would result in commuters being charged 38 euro to drive from Maynooth to Dublin.

A trip from Cork to Dublin would cost 163 euro.

Travelling from Limerick to Galway could cost upwards of €90, or as little as €4, depending on the strategy the Government takes.
