Met Eireann Warning Of Treacherous Conditions This Morning
Temperatures plummeted to minus 4 overnight.
Two status yellow weather warnings are in place for the entire country - a low temperature alert until 10am, and a snow and ice warning until 11am.
Michael Rowland from the Road Safety Authority says anyone who is making a journey needs to take extreme care:
"We're advising drivers to drive slowly in the highest possible gear manoeuvre gently and avoid harsh braking and if there is snow, we'd ask people to 'gently does it' and manoeuvre gently. Slow down. Leave extra distance between you and the vehicle in front. And, in particular, watch out for vulnerable road users."
