RSA cold weather warning

The Road Safety Authority (RSA) is advising all road users to prepare for cold weather conditions.

Wintry showers of hail, sleet and snow are expected. With overnight temperatures expected around 0° or below over the coming nights there is also a significant risk of icy patches, which will make road use hazardous, the authority warns.

Snowfall accumulations are expected to affect the west and north of the country particularly on higher ground, but snow is possible at lower levels into Tuesday.
