The alert comes into effect at 6pm this evening and runs until 11am tomorrow morning.

Seperately, the Met Office in the UK has issued an ice warning for the six counties in Northern Ireland.

That kicks in at 5 o'clock this evening and expires just before midnight.

Met Éireann is warning the cold weather may cause animal welfare issues and pets should be kept inside if possible.
