Met Éireann have updated their weather warnings at 06.00hrs this morning. An ORANGE level weather warning is in place for Munster, Leinster, Cavan and Monaghan for some further snow this morning, with widespread treacherous surfaces due to ice and snow on the ground.
Conditions are and will remain very difficult and the public are advised continue to exercise high levels of caution for their own safety in the accumulated snow and icy conditions.
There are variations in storm impact across the country. Our services are working to open the principal road networks and to get public transport operating again. Many roads remain impassable.
We continue to advise that only those working in essential services and those who have roles in getting the country back to normal should undertake journeys.
People who need undertake essential journeys need to take account of circumstances locally before deciding to undertake those journeys.
Met Eireann are also advising that rain will begin to spread from the south today.
Further updates will follow.
