EVENTS AND TRANSPORT have been hit as snow hits Ireland again.
An orange snow-ice warning remains in place until midday as snow storms hit six counties across the east. A yellow warning remains in place until tomorrow at 9am.
With the warning has come some travel disruption, with Dublin Bus saying 15 routes are affected.
“The majority of our services are operating as normal however, due to poor road conditions the following curtailments are in place.”
Bus Eireann routes 132, 133 and 111 are experiencing disruption.
The Luas red line is not operating between Saggart and Belgard due to a technical fault and this is leading to delays of around 10 minutes. The green line is running normally.
Dublin Airport had suspended operations to clear the snow, but these resumed after 40 minutes. The airport is urging passengers to check the status of their flights with their airline.
