How do foreign registered cars get billed on the barrier free toll?.
Not to mention all the Polish and Eastern European cars.
Does this new system mean that foreign registered cars pay nothing?
According to a [broken link removed] on the eFlow website the NRA will use a "trans-European enforcement agency" to recover foreign fees. If that is real rather than spoofing why aren't they more specific about the name of this agency.
Just one of the reasons that both tolls and motor tax should be scrapped with a tax/toll levy added to petrol/diesel. It sickens me that the tax payer paid for this road in both directions only for NTR to be allowed to build the bridge (£20 million was it?) in the middle to choke the traffic and dip into the pockets of motorists for maybe 20? years. Then the tax payer buys the bridge back for €600 million but for what? so the barriers are lifted but the casual charge for crossing goes up 50%. Once this e-flow system is bedded down they will change it so that they can detect cars as they enter and exit the M50 and will charge on a per kilometer basis.I see a lot of NI registered cars on the M50. Not to mention all the Polish and Eastern European cars.

The idea of tolling roads needs debate big time. Mororists pay tax on fuel, road tax, VRT ,VAT + tolls.
Now that they have 'fixed' the Westlink & M50, can they please sort out the Eastlink and the out-dated roundabout at the northen end of the bridge ?
Following the opening of the Port Tunnel, the roads have been widened but there is still a roundabout in the way, causing traffic sclerosis. If they changed to a signal junction, with priority given north south traffic (i.e. as opposed to traffic on the north quays), the traffic would move quicker and avoid the traffic jams throughout Sandymount & Ringsend.
But they won't
