Up to 40cms of snow is expected to fall in Ireland over the next 24 hours and people have been warned to stay indoors from 4pm today until noon tomorrow as Storm Emma meets the so-called Beast from the East.
The National Emergency Coordination Group said the decision was made because of the “serious and life-threatening conditions” which may be posed by the extreme weather.
