A STATUS RED weather warning has been issued for all counties in Ireland until 3pm tomorrow.

The government has urged everyone in a red area to be at home from 4pm today until 12 midday tomorrow and to not take chances on the roads.

However, if you absolutely feel like you have to get around, here’s what’s running.

Bus

Dublin Bus, Bus Éireann, and school bus services are all cancelled. Some private bus services continued to run: Citylink ran services throughout the morning with the last bus leaving at 12.30pm.

Dublin Bus said:

“Dublin Bus will not be in a position to operate any services on Thursday 1st of March. We apologise for the inconvenience caused however this decision has been made in the interest of safety of our customers and employees.”

Bus Éireann had cancelled services in Leinster and Munster, but has this morning extended that to the whole country.
