Tomsmith here fromCavan I understand that big delays was evident T THE Tolls on both the roads that Tyrone and Kerry folk had to travel up to Dublin on last Saturday. I hear that the delay stretched back 5 miles on the Belfast road from the toll booth. An answer would be honesty boxes / buckets on the approach or even after the Toll booth . Let the Gaa consider what can be done going forward tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 4071 - 18/07/2025 00:43:10 2626332 Link

A better idea should be they should insist on toll free roads permanently. They are a travel tax on country people boxtyburgerbuns (Leitrim) - Posts: 462 - 18/07/2025 10:13:36 2626347 Link

Replying To boxtyburgerbuns: "A better idea should be they should insist on toll free roads permanently. They are a travel tax on country people" They're a tax on everyone that chooses to use them. They can be avoided. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 8174 - 18/07/2025 10:27:07 2626354 Link
Replying To GreenandRed: "They're a tax on everyone that chooses to use them. They can be avoided." How can one argue with that type of position, best not to. boxtyburgerbuns (Leitrim) - Posts: 462 - 18/07/2025 10:39:30 2626357 Link
What nonsense. People can choose to avoid tolls, people can choose public transport, people can can get together and hire private buses. There are many ways to get to Croke park you don't need to stay on main road. Chops (Westmeath) - Posts: 838 - 18/07/2025 11:13:36 2626365 Link

Replying To sligo joe: "Any tolls in Leitrim? There are tolls in Dublin City, Limerick City, etc" Tolls in Meath and Galway chief, none in Leitrim. Have you been outside Dublin yourself? boxtyburgerbuns (Leitrim) - Posts: 462 - 18/07/2025 12:28:47 2626377 Link
Everybody with a match ticket should get a €50 Circle K card with it. ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1435 - 18/07/2025 12:33:03 2626381 Link
Replying To boxtyburgerbuns: "Tolls in Meath and Galway chief, none in Leitrim. Have you been outside Dublin yourself?" 11 tolls in the Republic and 3 of them are in Dublin's fair city so they are not a tax solely for country people! I have been in every County in Éire, more than once? sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 982 - 18/07/2025 12:55:30 2626387 Link

Replying To ExiledInWex: "Everybody with a match ticket should get a €50 Circle K card with it." Easily done. Would just have to put the price of a ticket up to €150 :) Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 2974 - 18/07/2025 14:23:47 2626425 Link
