The AA is updating road conditions around the country with several problem spots already noted.
In Cork conditions are poor with gardaí reporting poor conditions on the N25 in particularly but extreme care is needed on all routes.
Difficult driving conditions in Waterford City and County this morning following heavy snowfall overnight.
In Dublin, snow is lying on routes around the city and county, especially on routes around the north and north-west of the city and county, so caution is needed. Conditions are "treacherous" along parts of the M1, M50 and on the N3 according to the AA.
Routes around Wicklow are dangerous due to the snow and ice and routes are closed or have been advised as no-go areas including the Old Military Road.
Poor conditions are also noted in Galway, Offally, Kildare, Roscommon and Leitrim.
As Theresa told us, don't make any unnecessary journeys!
