Freezing temperatures were again recorded overnight as Roscommon was the coldest part of the country with the mercury plummeting to -6.6C in Mount Dillion.

The cold snap continues to impact much of the country as ice, snow and dangerous travel conditions persist, however, milder conditions are on the way.
