Celtic Roads Group, operator of the M1 Motorway Toll has apologised to motorists who were overcharged while using the route between Gormanston Co Meath and Ballymascanian in Co Louth. The company said that due to “an isolated technical issue” a “limited number” of tag customers “were in fact charged at the second toll point on continuing their journey”. Based on the company’s analysis, the numbers overcharged were about 1,500 electronic tag customers in about 2,000 transactions, amounting to about €6,000. The company said the issue arose “only for those using electronic tags for payment and does not affect cash customers”.
