Gardai urge "extreme
caution"
06.12.10
GARDAI are advising the
public to continue to exercise "extreme caution" as
the hazardous weather continues.
Although some of the snow may be thawing in places,
ice and black ice can still be present and a danger
to motorists. Gardai have advised the following:
*Public transport should be used where possible.
*Motorists are asked not to make unnecessary
journeys.
*Drivers should be conscious of the safety of
pedestrians.
Meanwhile, pedestrians should avoid walking on the
road and wear hi-vis jackets while people should
avoid standing outside buildings as snow falling
from roofs can cause injury. |

The sun sets on a chilly upper road,
Greencastle. |
Current indications are
that temperatures are to remain very low and drop
further later on and this may create further
difficult driving conditions. We are asking road
users to be conscious of this when making journeys.
"We would ask people to keep in contact with
neighbours, particularly those living alone, to call
around and check on them and to not assume that
someone else will do so," Gardai said in a
statement. |
