The warnings are in effect due to a 'polar low' over Ireland in the coming days.
Conor Faughnan from the AA says people need to be careful on the roads.
He said: "In icy conditions, motorists are the ones who have to take care, cyclists will do their best but they are on imperfect infrastructure and sharing road space with us.
"The driver is the one who has to take extra care, treat secondary roads in particular with great suspicion."
