Motorists Advised To Drive With Caution

In Tipperary, motorists, particularly around Thurles, are being warned to be especially careful.

Road temperatures continue to drop and snow is falling in many parts of the country. Conditions on secondary and minor roads are treacherous. Drive with extreme care and remember gentle maneuvers are the key to safe driving.

Motorists are experiencing very icy road conditions on the N7 between Moneygall and Nenagh, and extremely icy conditions also exists on the bridge at Fiddown, connecting the N24 Carrick-on-Suir Rd and the Portlaw Rd (R680).

Motorists are advised, during this expected week long cold spell, to drive with extreme care coming up to Christmas.

Remember, the life you loose may not be your own.
