Sat 11 Nov 2009Council to reassess €4.5m HGV toll fees
DUBLIN CITY Council is to reconsider its payment of some €4.5 million in tolls over the next six years for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV) which have to use the East Link toll bridge. The move could result in the return of five-axle lorries to the city streets.
