The cold weather will continue into the middle of next week.
Met Éireann has extended its winter weather advisory until Wednesday at midday.
It will be very cold with sharp to severe frost and black ice on roads and footpaths.
The cold weather will remain over the coming days and there’s also the possibility of hail showers, sleet and snow in coastal counties.

Meanwhile, Age Action Ireland has called for members of the public to check in on the older people in their lives, who may be isolated.
