All Dublin stops his activity because of a heavy snowfall. Icy conditions have severely affected roads in many parts of the country, with temperatures due to fall to -5C overnight.
Dublin Bus is warning that all services are experiencing delays, the worst are in the southside of the city, especially in Lucan, Tallaght, Rathfarnham and Enniskerry. South Dublin county council says all main roads are open, but following heavy showers of snow, traffic disruption is likely.
Motorists have to drive with extra care on secondary roads, the roads 239, 25, 25A, 26 66, 66A, 66D, 66N, 67 and 67A are close because of the bad condition of the weather, it is also recommended to the drivers to be extremely careful on the roads as the cold snap continues to make driving extremely dangerous. Schools are closed and all the children are at home, many local events have been cancelled as the freeze continues, for Dublin pedestrians it is very dangerous walk on the footpath, there are may cases of broken arms and legs in particular for old people.

| Snow in Dublin on Friday |
Dublin council continues to clean the streets. They have 120 tons of salt and sand to treat the streets.
In Irish airports the situation is as critical as on the roads, many flights are cancelled because of the bad visibility conditions & the ice has made the landing strip dangerous. Passengers are advised to check the airline's website.
Disruption is likely to continue tomorrow, as hail, sleet or snow showers are expected in Connacht and Ulster, and parts of west Munster, the weather will be better in a couple of weeks.
