The campaign designed to emulate the "See America First" good roads campaign in the United States was focused on touting the amenities for automobile enthusiasts, the improved roads and connections between the Free State of Ireland, and Northern Ireland between the Wars, but also the many different hotels, roadside inns, historic attractions, and sporting opportunities, including angling, golf, and hunting.
