Have you an eFlow tag? Some toll stations will not accept your tag anymore

It has been revealed that a number of toll stations across the country will no longer be able to accept the eFlow tags that tens of thousands of customers use every day. A contracts dispute between Transport Infrastructure Ireland- the group which operates the eFlow service- and the Celtic Roads Group- the group which operates the tolls on some of the country's roads- means that thousands of people will have their tags switched off at some stations, according to a report in today's Sunday Business Post. The toll stations involved are the M7/M8 near Portlaoise, the M25 Waterford bypass and the M1 at Drogheda. Customers with tags will not be able to approach the barriers and expect them to go up anymore, instead they will have to pay with cash. The switch off will happen at the end of August. "It is with regret that we are making preparations to cease collection services on those roads at the end of August. From August 31, eFlow customers' tags will no longer work at those CRG plazas," said TII's head of tolling, Cathal Masterson.
