An Garda Síochána, the Road Safety Authority (RSA), and councils are advising motorists to stay home if possible. "Make only essential journeys, take it slowly and allow extra time for travel to reduce risks for all and to relieve the pressure on the emergency services," the RSA stated. This precautionary approach underscores the seriousness of the current weather conditions which have made roads extremely hazardous for travel.
As temperatures plummet between -3C to -8C, Met Éireann has issued three separate Status Orange alerts for low temperatures and ice affecting various counties. These warnings highlight the severe frost, black ice, and the potential dangers posed to pedestrians and motorists alike. With driving conditions described as perilous, the alerts are crucial for public safety as adverse weather conditions impact daily life.
