The current weather warning remains in place until midday. Siobhan Ryan, Meteorologist with Met Éireann says conditions are poor out there this morning. "It's very cold; it's icy and we have a band of precipitation currently sinking down from the north of Ireland.
"There will be a real mix of rain, sleet and some snowfall embedded in that. Also, there is the potential for some black ice on the leading edge of that in particular.
