Since Ireland joined the European Economic Community (now the European Union) in 1973, Irish roads have changed.
With the help of European funds, many new roads have been built and this continues to be the case.
With so many cars, buses and trucks on the roads, it is important to keep them in good condition.
Sometimes it is also necessary to build bigger, wider roads to make more room for the huge volumes of traffic.
On nearly every drive we take today in Ireland, we meet roadworks and see men with shovels and diggers improving roads.
One of the biggest roads in the country is being built at the moment outside Cashel.
When it is finished, it will take huge amounts of traffic from Cork to Dublin much faster than was possible before.
This kind of road is called a motorway.
