AA Roadwatch are urging extreme care with a Status Yellow snow/ice warning remaining in place from Met Éireann until noon.

AA Roadwatch said: “Very icy conditions reported in most parts of the country this morning, with snow also affecting routes in some areas. Extreme caution is advised on essential journeys in all areas.

“Allow yourself more time to fully de-ice your car before making an essential journey and stick to main routes where possible as these are more likely to have been gritted.

“It can take up to ten times longer to stop a vehicle on icy roads, so slow down, avoid harsh manoeuvres and keep well back from whoever’s in front.”
