Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed view of road policing initiatives in Ireland since their inception during the Roman era. Through a thoughtful analysis of Irish legislation from the 14th to the 18th centuries, the author presents a compelling account of the evolution of road infrastructure and policy. The author argues that the 'Presentment System', introduced in the 18th century, was instrumental in the development of a systematic and efficient road network in Ireland. The author also provides a valuable comparative analysis of the road policing systems of Ireland, Great Britain, and Scotland. This book will appeal not only to transportation historians but to anyone interested in the history of public infrastructure development in Ireland.
