A STATUS ORANGE weather warning has been issued by Met Éireann this afternoon as meteorologists expect a dense fog to descend across the country.
“The fog will become fairly widespread this evening and early tonight and will be dense in places,” the organisation said at 1pm.
“Some pockets of freezing fog are likely also,” it warned.
An orange warning is the second most-serious one issued by Met Eireann. It asks people to be prepared as the expected conditions “have the capacity to impact significantly on people in the affected areas”.
“The issue of an orange level weather warning implies that all recipients in the affected areas should prepare themselves in an appropriate way for the anticipated conditions,” the body explains.
Today’s advisory is for the entire country and is active from 1pm to 9am tomorrow.
It is expected to be cold again tonight with frost and ice, as well as freezing fog returning. However, it will be dry in most parts except for a few wintry showers on the northwest and possibly the east coast. Temperatures could dip as low as -3 degrees C.
Wintry, cold conditions are expected again tomorrow with Met Eireann saying it will be “quite blustery” in eastern and southeastern coastal counties. Those living there should also prepare for strong to gale force winds, heavy rain and sleet.
For everyone else, it will be breezy, brighter and drier with even some hazy sunshine at times.
“Top temperatures just 4 to 7 C, at best, and feeling bitterly cold in the wind,” the forecast continues.
The outlook for the week doesn’t bring better news for those who don’t like the cold. But it will be dry and fine with some good sunshine predicted for Wednesday.
Great, because regulators have done such a good job lately
Great stuff, now that they have fcuked off with the money
Fg and accountability that’s funny.

The two Anglo boys are going to run this as part of their community service?
Am I right in saying that executives of charities are regulating themselves ?
Anthony they are being sucked dry by political parasites.
Shatter talking about accountability is like Barney Gumble telling you to curb your drinking.
Shatter and accountability in the one statement very unlikely!

Will Frangela Flanker be on the board????….
Thanks for the best laugh I’ve had so far today !

I hope they start with some golf societies acting as charities.
“The wheel, a network of 950 charities” how did Ireland come to have 950+ charities? Are we that much of a soft touch?
There are over 12,000 organisations registered as charities here, some national, some tiny and local
Spin doctors doing a good job again.
It’s nice work if you can find it.
There should be some kind of jobbridge scheme for those who are interested in bringing an isolated ministry in from the cold.
The act is dated 2009. jaysus the move slow to implement it
Has anyone seen these jobs advertised anywhere?
The positions were all on http://publicjobs.ie/publicjobs/
I believe it was pretty well covered in all the press – I know a couple people that applied.
The board positions were. I’m asking about the executive/admin positions?
Oh sorry.
I think all the positions will be filled by public service staff. But my understanding is that the Board will first need to put a CEO in place (probably will be the same as the interim CEO) and then build the team from there. So I believe they’ve not been advertised yet.
Just a cover up to maintain there mates on the big salaries
Cue positive news story for government accompsnied by photo of related minister. Expect one per weekday from now to the locals…..
The Act is dated 2009 , Jaysus they move slow implementing it
