Gardaí have warned that the driving conditions across the country are dangerous. Drivers and cyclists have been urged to take extra care and to reduce speed.

AA Roadwatch has warned drivers about heavy fog in Dublin and Meath, particularly on the M1 motorway and the M1 road.

The weather warning, which is in place until 9 o’clock this morning, is for Cavan, Monaghan, Donegal, Dublin, Kildare, Longford, Louth, Westmeath, Meath, Leitrim and Roscommon.
