Financial Statements: Motor Tax Account 2024 (13 Nov 2025) John Brady: Obviously, it is an issue of deep concern for people, not just in Wicklow but any users of the N11 stuck in serious traffic. There are lengthy delays every single day of the week going back as far as Newtownmountkennedy, so progressing this is critically important. I do not expect Mr. Doocey to have figures here, but could we get a cost to date of that project and how much money had been...

Financial Statements: Motor Tax Account 2024 (13 Nov 2025) John Brady: That is being looked at. Obviously, there is a strongly held view out there that road tolls are cash cows. We see that again with the increase from 1 January. It is seen as a penalty on people using roads and particularly trying to commute in and out of work. For a toll increase to be approved, is that a function of the Minister?

Earlier on, Mr. Doocey spoke about the upgrade of the road and maintenance. Therefore, is money collected at those ring-fenced or how is that dealt with?

I will also ask about the expansion because I know there have been different suggestions about expanding road tolls on the national network. Are there any current plans to extend tolling on any roads?

It would be useful if we got an overall cost of the project as well as the purpose for which the PPP was put in place. In relation to the rail network, I am going to be a little bit parochial here because we all want to see an...

Financial Statements: Motor Tax Account 2024 (13 Nov 2025) John Brady: In terms of prioritisation, my colleagues represent other constituencies on the northern line where priority seems to be given in terms of even additional carriages. I think there was a promise of 41 new carriages going in. There have been some delays in the delivery of those. It is now being pushed back a year. Mr. Doocey might confirm the exact timeframe for delivery of those new carriages.

Only on delivery of those carriages can the Rosslare to Dublin line be looked at. As I said, there is a serious and dangerous situation there in terms of the demand and the supply. The two do not match. There are serious...
