Staff at the M50 Toll plaza.

steyr fan

just wondering - what will happen to the staff at the M50 toll plaza once the barriers are lifted? Redundancies? Redeployed?

And who will have to pay for whatever will happen?

That's right - you, me, and every other fool who uses the blasted road.

Or am I just mad?

NTR have €400m to pay them redundancy.

Alternatively, they might have some rights to transfer if the new operation can be deemed to be a continuation of the existing one.

I presume they'll need some staff to administer the new system.

NTR are a private company ( a type of plc) the toll booth staff at the westlink work for them.
they may be made redundant, they may be offered other work in ntr.
If they are made redundant when the state buys the ridge from NTR, then just like any other citizen, they would be entitled to their statutory redundancy and the various tax credits that are given to workers who receive a payment in addition to their statutory redundancy.

The state has appointed several different companies to collect the tolls when the barriers are removed. none of which as far as I'm aware, are connected to NTR, so booth staff will be unlikely to be involved in the new arrangements.

Every fool who chooses to use the M50 between the N3 ad N4 will be charged an increased price of EUR2 excluding VAT, unlike the EUR1.65 excluding VAT if they have a tag, while occasional users could be charged EUR3 excluding VAT. This is an increase of 81%

L1011

Just to clarify, its 'excluding VAT' of 0%, before someone assumes that makes it €2.42! Screws over commercial users I presume....

As I understand it, they are an unlisted PLC. That means you can buy the shares, but not on the stock market.
