Met Éireann has warned that the impact of the snow and ice could significantly affect travel, leading to hazardous conditions, poor visibility, and disruptions both on roads and in public transport.

As temperatures are expected to drop to -5 degrees in some areas, the warning emphasizes the severe nature of the winter weather affecting various counties including Galway, Clare and Cork.

Outdoor activities and events are likely to be disrupted due to the ongoing warnings, with the adverse weather conditions posing serious concerns for animal welfare.
