Stop the double tolling!
The M3 will be tolled twice in County Meath.
A commuter for example, traveling from north of Navan hoping to travel on the M3 to work in Lucan or south of the M50 will be forced to pay 3 tolls there and 3 tolls back—6 tolls per day, 30 per week.
The entire M3 debate seems to revolve around a controversial 3km, and the double tolling of the M3 has largely been ignored by our elected representatives in Dáil Éireann.
Using the current M50 toll charge of €1.80 per car for calculation purposes you would have to pay €10.80 per day or €54.00 per week to get there and back! This is unacceptable.
This is just one of many issues affecting the M3 including route construction delays and building across the old Dublin Navan Railway line without putting in bridges before the M3 is built.
Meath needs an M3 now, without delays or double tolls.
