LAST UPDATE | 17 Nov 2019
A STATUS YELLOW low temperature warning will take effect for most of the country this evening.
Met Éireann has warned a very cold night is ahead with temperatures set to reach as low as -2 to -4 degrees in the affected areas.
This will bring widespread severe frost with the risk of icy patches.
The warning takes effect from 9pm this evening and lasts until 10am tomorrow morning.
It will apply to 22 counties and the only counties to which the warning does not apply are Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford and Waterford.
Mist will turn into fog overnight, with Met Éireann warning that “extensive and freezing” fog may be a possibility.
Tomorrow morning then will be bright and dry, with frost set to clear and temperatures recovering after a very cold start to the day.
Met Éireann has forecast conditions becoming milder as the week goes on but it will remain unsettled with rain or showers on most days.

Shocking statistics, it’ll only get worse i fear,law and order has completely broken down, Country is in need of proper leadership,it’s rotten from the inside out.
@Christine Paulette Roche: ha ha ha. Overall crime is on a steady decline for decades. It’s just that we are drowning in media sensationalism. Most people don’t have the cognitive ability to see that.
@Christine Paulette Roche: Oh get a life you Drama Queen
@Sweet George: ya think? Tell that to majority of women raped and Assaulted by non_nationals, obviously you and I’ll haven’t been affected yet, only a matter of time, don’t tell me what my eyes see on a daily basis.
@Sweet George: head in sand,keep digging that hole bigger & bigger,you come across as a denier of facts, enough said don’t waste my time with this pathetic response.
@Flip off: obviously not listening to every day news? Earplugs must be great in your gaff?
@Sweet George: nope just as sweet as you dear George!
@hasnooneasked: yep rape/murder/Assault are very dramatic and traumatic for victims, don’t you think?? What a disgusting response you utter moron.
@Christine Paulette Roche: the only moron I see is you with your typical histrionics about law and order breakdown. You really are a sad pathetic individual who probably believes everything they read in the papers or online.
@Christine Paulette Roche: ‘Tell that to majority of women raped and Assaulted by non_nationals,’ ??? Yet another racist on the comments section of the journal….who’d have thought….?
A friend of mine was a witness a few months ago in that court , on the first day their wasn’t enough Jurys on the second and third day their wasn’t enough judges ,it got put back till October the legal system making a killing out of the court it’s a joke
They invested in new court houses, higher salaries for judges and Barristers while no extra prisons were built. The cork prison was basically rebuilt but with less cells. We need more prisons and double the number of Gardai in order to have people to feel safe in their homes and in their work. The legal guys are protecting their repeat customers and keeping them out of jail to carry on committing crimes. The minister of justice should resign. The judges families are mostly in the legal trade so it is corrupt.
@Cranky:
@Cranky: Absolutely correct, the system and of course the unfortunate taxpayers are being ripped off by people in wigs and gowns and none of our politicians appear to give one damn>
I think the most alarming statistic in this report is that only 4% of people found guilty of manslaughter are sentenced to 10 years or more.
Put another way 1 in 25 receive this sentence, which is really only about 5 years when “early release” and “good behavior” are taken into account.
Is human life really worth that little ?
Despite what our “liberals” say, civilised society has collapsed in Ireland. It is a cesspool of immorality, violence, hypocrisy born out of the collapse of moral standards which looks it will only get worse.
I remember been in front of a judge once in my life while the process was interesting the case was very boring and lasted only 2 days I remember been brought to the abbey hotel on abbey street for our lunch anyway to make a long story short the judge giving us 7 years along with 11 others on the jury and haven’t been called since.
@Liam Ward: I’m a little confused here , were you being sentenced or were you on the jury ?
@Liam Ward: what’d you get for lunch?
@Liam Ward: you should write a book about it
@Liam Ward: cool story, bro!
@Dublin days: he should get someone else to write it for him though. His grammar and sentence structure is woeful.
Jury service ken
@Liam Ward: Phew !
I think that the 23,000 drug cases needn’t be there draining away the courts resources. Things would run a lot smoother if the courts only had to worry about things like violent crimes, theft & fraud etc….
And they’re all getting suspended sentences
Please explain what a gagin order is
have your say
