Motorists are being urged to take extra care on the roads today as a weather warning comes into force.
A weather advisory remains in place across the Easter weekend, with a Status yellow wind warning in effect for the entire country from 1 o’clock this afternoon until 2am tomorrow morning.
Storm Dave will bring very strong southerly winds with severe gusts and coastal gales and possible impacts include some fallen trees and branches, wave overtopping, difficult travelling conditions and debris or loose objects displaced.
Drivers are urged to slow down and allow a greater braking distance between themselves and the vehicle in front in wet weather conditions, to watch out for displaced objects on the roads and not to attempt to drive through floods.
