Most Senators and indeed the general public in both the midlands and the west encounter the roads to hell, as described in a number of publications yesterday. A recent survey by the Automobile Association highlighted a significant number of dangerous roads throughout the country. Most of them are in the midlands, particularly the N55 between Athlone and Cavan and the N52 between Kinnegad and Tyrrellspass. The worst stretch of road is listed as the one between Edgeworthstown and Armagh.
