Further falls of snow, meanwhile, have led to icy stretches on roads and paths and some accumulations, especially in Connacht and Ulster today.
Minimum temperatures of -2 to +2 degrees in fresh southwest to west breezes with an extensive frost.
Tuesday will start cold and frosty with icy stretches on untreated surfaces and some lying snow.
There will be a mix of sunshine and scattered wintry showers, the showers frequent over the western half of the country with a risk of hail and thunder there.
Highest temperatures will be between 4 to 7 degrees in fresh and gusty westerly winds, strong along Atlantic coasts.
All the “Hamas” bots seem to be missing when it comes to denouncing Islamists when it comes to kidnapping of Women and Children. Double standards from the left and Islamic ideologies.
Hope international attention leads to the children and women being found. Thanks Journal for highlighting it.
@Oliver Cleary: I don’t think you’ll find anyone that supports such actions.
Nice try at deflection, though.
No, care to condemn Israel’s crimes against humanity?
Crimes it has been committing since it first stole the homeland of the Palestinian.
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: I’ll engage when you use your real name. Stop hiding behind a pseudonym. You do not merit honest discussion because you are in essence dishonest
@Oliver Cleary: What you mean you find yourself unable to condemn Israel’s crimes against humanity.
Why does any pseudonym prevent you from doing that?
@ItWasLikeThatWhenIGotHere: “since it first stole the homeland of the Palestinian” showed your cards there, you obviously have zero understanding of the conflict
@Etcher: @Etcher: What do I not understand?
If people claiming to be descendants of Irish who left these shores long ago illegally moved back here, established terrorist groups, attacked us, drove us out of our homes, off our lands and out of our towns and villages, attacked and overthew our government and established their own state here, then what would be different about what the colonial Israeli settler has done to the Palestinian?
And what do you think we would do about it?
And wouldn’t we be right?
Now would you like to tell us your understanding?
It is not cool enough to be seen to be concerned about what happens in Nigeria.
@Sun Rise: Since when? It’s a scandal that they can’t protect their schoolchildren. Similar happened in Italy years ago, it was rife. All for money mostly.
@Sun Rise: What a dump of a country
@Etcher: There aren’t that many books available here that give an insight into life in Nigeria, or West Africa even.
But an author that does have a few books on the shelves is Oyinkan Braithwaite, and her novel My Sister, the Serial Killer is worth the read.
But this is based in a city (Lagos perhaps, I can’t remember), and does not touch on rural Nigerian life, much less the life of those in the northern parts that are subject to much of this terrorism.
You have to admire these brave Jihadists on their dangerous military operations. One of the school children might throw their schoolbag at them, causing scratches!
@Brian Hunt: As brave as the Israelis, would you say?
Horrendous for these children & their families. Hope they are reunited soon & not abused or trafficked, like the 14 year who went missing from Tulsa
have your say
