In a comment to The Echo, a spokesperson for the council issued this advice to road users –
As with all severe weather events, only essential journeys should be considered.
Use common sense and expect the unexpected.
Listen to, and heed, national and local media announcements regarding road and weather conditions.
Watch out for falling/fallen debris on the road and vehicles veering across the road and the reaction of other road users.
Notify the Gardaí or Local Authority about fallen debris on the roadway. NEVER stop on a motorway to remove debris.
