Our roads as good as the best

I DISAGREE with Cal Hyland (Irish Examiner letters, Nov 11) when he says that Irish roads are among the worst in the developed world.

I wonder where he got these statistics. He must have had his eyes closed while driving abroad if he is suggesting that roads are any better than ours in other countries.

I have driven in France, Belgium, Germany Holland, Britain and the US, and I can categorically state that Irish roads are as good, or better in some cases, than the major roads anywhere in the world.
