What are the charges?

All permits for use of cranes and hoists cost a minimum of €100 per day. However, costs may be substantially higher in some circumstances, depending on the nature, duration or location of the works involved.

  • A further charge will apply if it is necessary to impinge on the public roadway or to make alternative arrangements for pedestrians
  • If the mobile crane/hoist/vehicle requires the suspension of parking bays on the roadway, additional fees will apply
  • For a comprehensive list of charges or to discuss your particular requirements, contact the Roadworks Control Unit
  • Charges may be reduced by up to 50% if the work is carried out between 7pm and 7am, or on Saturday, Sunday or public holiday.

How can I make my payment?

Payment may be made by cheque, cash, credit/debit card. Please do not send cash in the post.

Please note: repeat applications must be accompanied by a new application form.
