Transport Infrastructure Ireland has announced a number of increases to tolls across the national road network effective from 1 January next year.
Among the roads to see increases will be the M50 and Port Tunnel in Dublin, which will see many road users charged an additional 10c.
There will be a €1 increase for those travelling southbound during morning peak hours of 6am to 10am through the Port Tunnel – rising from €13 to €14.
TII says this is to preserve capacity for HGVs, as non-HGV traffic continued to increase in 2025 during peak periods.
All categories of vehicles using the M50 will experience an increase, TII said, except for unregistered motor cars without a tag or video account.
Heavy goods vehicles exceeding 10,000kg holding a video account will see a 20c increase on the M50.
Motorists using the M4 Kilcock to Kinnegad and M3 Clonee to Kells motorway will be affected by a 10c increase.
There will also be a 20c increase on HGVs weighing over 3,500kg having 4 axels or more on the M4.
TII said the price of tolls is regulated through an inflation mechanism and cannot go above inflation.
It added tolls pay for TII's "annual protection and renewal of national roads".
Sinn Féin TD Matt Carthy said the increase in tolls "simply should not go ahead".
Speaking at Leinster House, Mr Carthy said TII is "putting additional costs essentially on people getting to work".
He said the toll increase will come on top of other increases, including in carbon taxes, fuel and insurance costs.
Mr Carthy said the Government should be supporting people rather than making their lives harder.
