The warning is in place for Dublin, Carlow, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Louth, Wexford, Wicklow, Meath and Waterford.
Met Éireann has said “occasional heavy snow showers will continue and will lead to further accumulations and some drifting” in affected areas.

Dublin Bus
As a result of the snow, a number of Dublin Bus services have been affected “due to the continuous snowfall”.
“We will endeavour to operate as many services as possible, however this is dependent on road and weather conditions throughout the day,” the company said in a statement.
Dublin Bus is monitoring the situation on an ongoing basis and is taking advice from Met Éireann. The safety of our customers and our employees is of paramount importance.
