A Kilkenny TD has voiced her opposition against proposed toll hikes to be imposed from January.
Natasha Newsome-Drennan hit out at Minister for Transport, Darragh O’Brien, as she believes he’s gone against his word regarding price increases.
The Sinn Fein representative thinks the proposed hikes are unfair and very untimely given the current costs to run a vehicle.
She noted how some road users have no other option than to used tolled roads multiple times a day and believes the government should halt the increase.
“People don’t have a choice. They don’t have a choice that we have to use a toll you’re looking at a half an hour extra on your journey if you don’t use tolls. So, I just don’t see what the government, why would they do this in in such a time when people are really, really struggling.”
