Parents told to expect school closures this week due to poor weather conditions

It might be best to plan ahead.

Met Eireann has said that it is expecting to issue a Red Weather Warning this week as temperatures plummet and large accumulations of snow hit the country. At present, it's forecasted that the east and south-east of the country are going to be the worst affected areas. According to The Mirror, Met Eireann has said that some school may be closed as a result. On the possibility of schools closing, it has said, "Just to remind you, Yellow level warnings mean be aware; Orange level warnings mean be prepared and Red level warnings mean take action. The possibility of school closures during the mid or later end of the week is a real possibility with this extreme event coming our way." Broadcaster Joanna Donnelly has indicated the low temperatures that can be expected at the end of the week.

Ok so y'all remember when I tweeted that picture of the reddest chart I'd ever seen in work? And everyone lost their minds? Well... #cold #snow #weather Watch out for those in need; #elderly #Homeless #AnimalWelfare pic.twitter.com/uYs6ET15m2

I want to go back over something for clarity here; charts are used as guidelines for creating forecasts. This is my own twitter feed and not that of Met Eireann. For offical forecasts please visit https://t.co/SovOYXAnV5 and watch the warnings there.
