An avalanche warning has been issued for parts of Ireland’s highest mountain range.

The Kerry Mountain Rescue Team (KMRT) said while the MacGillycuddy Reeks in Kerry look spectacular after recent snowfalls, the conditions for climbing and walking are not good, with a risk of avalanche in certain places.
