Elsewhere and Gardaí say by- roads in Sixmilebridge are dangerous as are stretches around Cooraclare, Kilrush and Doonbeg and black ice on the Kilkee to Kilrush road has been covered by snow, which has also affected roads in Shannon.

Most other areas are passable with care; however drivers are being warned that a number of the roundabouts in Ennis are very slippery.
