    People are causing dangerous conditions, not ice. Conditions are conditions.

    Don’t make unnecessary journeys. Please take care on treacherous roads.

    No. Icy conditions ‘slow things down’. Things like not indicating properly or not watching your mirrors, or unrestrained children, or worn tyres, now that’s what creates dangerous driving conditions.

    Main roads seem to be ok but there is some ice on smaller roads and in estates.

    It would do you well to spend some time living outside Dublin and then you’d realise how easy you really have it. There were no buses running from my hometown in Cork this morning…think of all the people who rely purely on that bus (because we they don’t have the transport options you have) to get to work. And that happened every icy day in the past few years when I was living there.

    We’re not all commuters. People drive in the morning for all sorts of reasons, not just to work.

    Footpaths and roads (Cork) very bad walking the dog this morning, usual 25 minute route took us 40 minutes!

    Thankfully I work from home on Fridays so that’s all I had to deal with.

    Maryborough Woods is like an ice rink. Crash on Carr’s hill earlier due to ice. Traffic very slow on N28 from Douglas to Shanbally
