Winter 2017 is tightening its grip on Ireland, as Met Eireann issues two separate weather warnings covering large swathes of the country.
A nationwide warning for cold weather remains in place until at least 10am on Friday morning, while a Status Yellow wind warning is now in effect for Donegal, Galway, north Leitrim, Mayo, Sligo, Clare, Cork, Kerry and Limerick. This warning will remain in place until 2pm tomorrow afternoon.
Motorists and pedestrians are advised to proceed with caution, especially in early morning when ice and frost may not have cleared yet.
