The existing road network must be maintained to a sufficient standard to ensure that the value of this important capital asset does not depreciate prematurely over the coming years.

EU-IMF Programme for Ireland and National Recovery Plan 2011-14: Statements (Resumed) (1 Dec 2010)

Arthur Morgan: Watch this space and see what will happen. In any event, it is a regressive measure irrespective of what the British do.
