Of course the number changing when crossing the border is understandable, but the change from N12 to N54 doesn't make much sense. Maybe it was a bit more logical when the N12 and N54 met the N2 in different sides of Monaghan town, but nowadays there's an unusual change in number at the Coolshannagh Roundabout where the N12, N54 and N2 all meet.
There is quite a coherent route all the way to Athlone, which includes the N55 as well.
