Ireland[1], - an island country in the North Atlantic - is separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel, the Irish Sea, and St George's Channel. Tolls are charged on some motorways and several bridges and tunnels. You can pay toll at the toll gates or you can use a Toll Tag Account [2] (e-toll) to pay online. Dublin M50 is a toll road under a barrier-free toll system in which there is no toll gate and you can pay via mobile app, online at eFlow[3], e-Toll[4]. For vehicles using clean energy - electricity, natural gas, or electric hybrid propulsion as fuel - you can get up to a 75% discount on tolls under the LEVTI programme.
