A Status Orange Snow and Ice Warning for Munster, Leinster, Cavan and Monaghan remains in place until 6pm today (3rd).
AA Roadwatch says that snow and ice remain an issue on many routes throughout the country, particularly in the east and south.
Avoid unnecessary travel, but if you must drive, allow plenty of extra time for your journey. Make sure to fully clear all snow from your car before leaving and stick to the main routes, which are most likely to have been treated.
Secondary routes and hills are still impassable in many places.
Drivers are urged to slow down, be cautious, and remember that it takes up to ten times longer to stop in icy or snowy conditions.
