The country is set to be plunged into freezing temperatures bringing snow and ice, as some weather chiefs warn of a major snow event on its way this week.
Irish meteorological service Met Éireann has warned that temperatures are set to drop as low as -5C on Tuesday night, and wintry falls of rain, sleet and snow sweep across the island.
On a status yellow ice warning for Ireland on Tuesday, they said: "Hazardous conditions due to freezing temperatures including icy stretches on roads and paths. Sleet or snow flurries in Munster overnight."
