eToll is an electronic toll collection system used in the Republic of Ireland. Run by the National Roads Authority, it is a interoperability system allowing cashless payment on all of Ireland's toll roads via an RFID tag attached to the windscreen of a participating vehicle.

Prior to its introduction in 2008,[1] some operators had their own incompatible schemes specific to their own road sections. Since introduction however, all 5 toll road operators issue interoperable eToll tags. Additionally, two private firms (who do not operate any toll roads) also issue and operate eToll tagging systems - of which one is subcontracted to provide branded tags for one operator, as well as their own.[2]

Technology

The system operates using in-car 5.8 GHz 802.11p RFID transponders, generally manufactured by Kapsch or CS Route.
