Madam, – I trust that the appropriate authority will arrange to have the main road through the Phoenix Park repaired before the proposed arrival of Queen Elizabeth later this year. It is in a sorry state at present with its uneven surface and numerous potholes.

Apart from the monarch’s arrival, it is essential that the road leading to Áras an Uachtaráin is properly maintained at all times to accommodate dignitaries and visitors travelling to and from the Áras and Farmleigh. – Yours, etc,
