Communications In Ireland Communications in the Republic of Ireland, including postal services run by An Post, are regulated to a large extent by the Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg), the Minister for Communications, Marine & Natural Resources has overall responsibility for national policy and regulation. Much of Ireland's communications infrastructure is modern and digital, however in several sectors there are competitive disadvantages to overcome due to the uncompetitive nature of the economy of Ireland.
Transport In Ireland Most of the transport system in Ireland rests in public hands, both north and south of the border. The road network has evolved separately north and south, while the rail network was mostly created prior to the partition of Ireland.
Abortion In Ireland The subject of abortion has had a controversial history in Ireland, and remains a controversial subject today.

Roads In Ireland Ireland, both north and south of the border, has an extensive network of roads. Historically, Northern Ireland has had better quality roads, though the difference is less marked nowadays. It is true to say that many rural roads, even in Northern Ireland, remain an 'exciting' ride. For an unforgettable example, drive from Charleville to Macroom in County Cork; all the stereotypical components are present, from road 'surface' and potholes, to junctions and vicious bends (often combined for added thrills). With the advent of European Union funding, most National routes in the Republic continue to be upgraded. In the years from 1990s to the following decade the Republic went from having one motorway in the country, to expanding the motorways to most major routes. This was part of a National Development Plan. Road construction in Northern Ireland has proceeded at a slower pace in recent years, although a number of important bypasses and upgrades to dual carriageway have recently been completed or are about to begin.
Vandalism In Ireland Some well-known cases of vandalism in Ireland included the blowing up of Nelson's Pillar, a large monument in the centre of Dublin, by a group of republicans in 1966. Other public monuments blown up in Ireland included Gough's Statue in the Phoenix Park and King Billy's statue in College Green, both in Dublin city centre. The Irish Public Records Office was destroyed by Irish Republicans in 1922, an act which destroyed one thousand years of state and religious archives. The justification was that though there were Irish records, they had been compiled by English and British governments and thus should be destroyed, an act described by some historians as cultural genocide. (An attempt to blow up the historic Linen Hall Library in Belfast by a unit of the Provisional IRA in the early 1990s was foiled by others in the movement itself, who realised in time that the famous library actually contained some of the archives of the republican movement itself.)
History Of Rail Transport In Ireland The history of rail transport in Ireland began only a decade later than that of Great Britain. By its peak in 1920, Ireland as a whole had 3,400 route miles of railway. The current status is less than half that amount, with a large unserviced area around the border area between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Today Ireland's railways are run by Iarnród Éireann in the Republic and Northern Ireland Railways. The Railway Preservation Society of Ireland based in Whitehead, County Antrim is the main preservation group, with the Irish Traction Group preserving diesel locomotives. See rail transport in Ireland for the current situation.
Rail Transport In Ireland Rail services in Ireland are provided by Iarnród Éireann in the Republic of Ireland, and by Northern Ireland Railways in Northern Ireland.
