Thousands are without power after a weekend of snowfall, with more on the way after Met Éireann issued a fresh snow and ice warning for the country. 

Schools closed as outpatient appointments and day services for Monday were cancelled by the HSE in Cork, Kerry, south Tipperary, Laois and parts of the mid-west after "significant accumulations of snow".
