Met Éireann issues nationwide snow and ice alert: Road users warned to take extra care
She was safely brought down at 1.30 am after an eight hour operation by members of Kerry Mountain Rescue. Conditions on the mountains are ‘extremely challenging’, the rescuers said.
According to Met Éireann, the “possible impacts” of this are hazardous driving conditions, travel disruption and poor visibility. The State’s crisis management team for extreme weather held a virtual meeting on Wednesday to discuss the impacts of the expected snowfall. Ireland is “in the grip” of a cold snap which will last until the end of the week, he told RTÉ radio’s Morning Ireland.
“We’ve had reports in Mayo, Kilkenny, Laois, right across the Midlands, some very heavy snow in parts of Limerick and Clare. Now it’s going to continue to move northwards. So this afternoon the northern half of the country mainly gets sleet or snow, while further south there will probably be more rain and sleet,” Mr Murphy said.
