The excess money has been used for tunnel maintenance. 

Dublin's Port Tunnel operators have earned over €90,000 from excess toll fees.

That's the figure since 2019 as motorists who don't have the correct change have overpaid.

Most toll booths don't have a person on hand to deliver change or coins.

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has kept the money for 'tunnel maintenance' and other works.

Many toll users pay by card now or have a tag in their vehicle that automatically processes payments.

TII made €44,900 in 2019, €19,500 in 2020, €19,000 last year and €7,600 to the end of March this year.

The numbers have fallen over the last couple of years due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

With travel restrictions in place and fewer motorists on road, their excess intake has been lower.
