We've been hit with another cold snap.

Munster, Connacht, Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal are worst affected.

Barry Aldworth of AA Ireland says motorists heading out today should leave extra time for journeys:

"If you are someone who is making a journey...allow yourself some extra journey time.

"Watch out for particularly, areas of the roads that might be covered by trees as it could take longer for ice to defrost in those areas".
