Kerry County Council will continue to monitor road conditions as the cold weather persists.
That's according to Kerry County Council spokesperson, Owen O'Shea.

A yellow low temperature and ice warning has been extended for the whole country until nine o'clock (9am) tomorrow morning.
Met Éireann expects temperatures to fall to between -1 and -3 degrees generally, and is warning that the sharp frost could lead to treacherous travelling conditions with black ice and icy stretches.
Motorists are asked to allow extra time for journeys, with driving conditions being particularly difficult in east Kerry around Kilcummin, Ballydesmond, Brosna and Gneeveguilla, and in South Kerry around Portmagee and Waterville.
Mr O'Shea says some schools have chosen not to operate their bus routes, or not to open entirely, due to dangerous conditions at untreated housing estates, local, regional, and some secondary roads:
