Met Éireann has warned that there will be a chance of sleet or snow overnight on Tuesday as temperatures will drop to freezing in parts of the country.

A number of weather warnings have already been issued by the national forecaster, with the eastern half of the country facing a wind warning on Tuesday before the western coast (including Cork, Kerry, Limerick and Clare) fall under a similar warning for Wednesday.
