Safety Message as Low Temperature/Ice warning in place for Ireland

There is a Met Éireann Low Temperature/Ice warning in place for Ireland and Fingal County Council is urging caution and giving some safety advice. 

Fingal County Council have gritted over 600 km of roads during the current cold weather. This represents half of our total road network.

 For further information see our Winter Maintenance section and follow our Social Media for updates.

Please take the following into consideration:

• Wintry showers and icy surfaces will lead to difficult travel conditions
• Driving conditions will be hazardous, even where roads are gritted, slow down, drive with caution, be aware of other road users and allow extra time for your journey
• Take extra care while walking: footpaths etc. can be extremely hazardous/slippery due to ice
• Check on elderly, vulnerable and isolated neighbours
• Keep your phone charged and take it with you on all journeys. In an emergency dial 999 or 112
