    Everyone that pays tax (not motor tax) pays for the road- the tax is collected by central government and issued to the local authorities in grant form. As I said previously, we have some of the highest taxes related to motoring, so our roads should be top class. Which they are not.

    Have you driven abroad at all? There are some awful roads here, but there are also some very good ones. Having driven in some, admittedly larger, other countries I have come to think that on the whole Irish roads aren't too bad.

    I found France and the UK to be fairly similar, Italy to be pretty poor and Australia to be abysmal, though I would give Australia a pass because of its scale.

    Italy can be an absolute nightmare to cycle in, which is quite disappointing for the home of the Giro.

    I noticed in Sicily that nobody seems to cycle, though given the way the driver over there it's not that surprising. It would be a death sentence.

    As requested....http://www.rsa.ie/RSA/Pedestrians-and-Cyclists/Cycling-safety/

    The RSA also say more recently, in one of their 'safe cycling' videos released this year "Stay well out from the kerb. You are as entitled to the space you need to cycle safely as any other road user."
