An orange forest fire warning has been put in place across the country as the unseasonably hot weather continues into this weekend.
It will be in place until midday on Monday, the Department of Agriculture has confirmed.
A statement from the Department said: "Arising from current high pressure dominated weather patterns a high fire risk is deemed to exist in all areas where hazardous fuels such as dead grasses and shrub fuels such as heather and gorse exist.
