A total of 15 drivers and vehicle owners are fined €265,000 over alleged unpaid tolls on Dublin’s M50 motorway, Irish court reports say. The cases come before the court of Judge Anthony Halpin, who hears that one individual has accumulated a very large number of unpaid journeys. According to the reports, one driver logs 637 unpaid trips and has been identified among the group facing enforcement action. The defendants include a mix of private car, truck and van owners, reflecting that toll evasion attempts involve different vehicle categories. The court hears that the individuals failed to appear in court, prompting the proceedings to proceed in their absence. Across the group, fines are reported to total €265,000, with the largest penalty connected to the driver with the 637 unpaid journeys. The reports describe the matter as one involving repeated non-payment on Ireland’s busiest motorway and highlight the scale of unpaid trips linked to at least one of the accused.
