525-569: The 1920s through to 1977, Irish roads had been numbered under a system of Trunk Roads and link roads (see Trunk roads in Ireland for details). The introduction of a National Route numbering system had been discussed since the late 1960s. Legislation to allow its introduction was passed in 1974: the Local Government (Roads and Motorways) Act 1974 , which introduced the concepts of motorways and national roads into Irish law.

Current plans are to substantially replace the existing N20 with a motorway (the M20). Based on the combined lengths of existing roads, current construction and proposed future construction, it is probable that over 50% of the national primary road network will be either motorway, high-quality dual carriageway or 2+2 dual-carriageway by 2030. Approximately 38.5% (1,105 km) of
665-591: The N31 was made up of roads previously classified as regional roads. The N32 , which had been constructed from new as an extension of the M50 Northern Cross Route project became part of the system in 1996. The N32 was reclassified as the R139 regional road in 2013. The N33 also became part of the system in the late 1990s, although it was only defined in the 2006 definition of the state's national roads,
700-555: The National Route numbering system, the system has remained relatively unchanged in its overall design, although as new bypasses open the various routes themselves have undergone changes. The legislative basis for the system changed in 1993 with the Roads Act 1993 . This act introduced a major change: a new body, the National Roads Authority (NRA), since replaced by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII),

Finally, the N40 and the M50 are bypass roads of Ireland's two largest cities, Cork and Dublin. National secondary roads (see next section) are numbered under the same scheme with higher numbers (from N51 on). On road signage, destinations served but not on
910-459: The original 25 national primary roads were defined via Statutory Instrument (the Local Government (Roads and Motorways) Act, 1974 (Declaration of National Roads) Order, 1977 ) in 1977 and the new numbers began to appear on road signs shortly thereafter, with the N4 road and N6 road the first to be signed. The first motorway, the M7 Naas bypass, opened in 1983. Since the introduction of

Northern Ireland route sections (which are classified separately according to NI schemes) are in some cases included in a theoretical complete cross-border route – for example, the N3 route, which re-enters the Republic. These are listed here in brackets for completeness (and are present on road signage within
1015-538: The route continues north towards Ballindine ; this section of the N17 is of poor standard and is reduced to a narrow winding road to the County Mayo border. The N17 passes through Ballindine just after it crosses the Galway/Mayo border. The main street though Ballindine is very wide reducing congestion in the village. Leaving Ballindine the route heads north towards Claremorris . This 5 km section of road
