Speaking on the Joe Finnegan this morning, meteorologist Michelle Dillon explained how the warning in Cavan and Monaghan were changed.

"We've actually put out further yellow warnings for the entire country until nine o'clock tomorrow morning. So mostly for lower temperatures and ice, for the current conditions and then for more frosty icy conditions into tonight and also we've also got snow ice warning then for Donegal, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo. So we've taken Cavan and Monaghan out of the snow warning after 11am but put it into the lower temperature and ice warning. So treacherous conditions, so some back roads, rural roads, higher ground, it's going to remain icy on those kind of roads."
