A yellow warning has been issued by the Weather Office for this week.
Foláireamh buí eisithe ag Oifig na hAimsire don tseachtain seo.
The Met Office, Met Éireann, has warned that temperatures this week will drop to four degrees below freezing.
Tá foláireamh tugtha ag Oifig na hAimsire, Met Éireann, go dtitfidh an teocht an tseachtain seo go dtí ceithre chéim faoi bhun an reophointe.
There will be dangerous driving conditions across the country, given the severe weather.
Beidh dálaí contúirteacha tiomána ar fud na tíre, i bhfianaise an tseaca chrua.
They have issued a yellow weather warning in relation to the low temperature and an ice warning has also been issued.
Tá foláireamh buí aimsire eisithe acu i dtaca leis an teocht íseal agus rabhadh oighir tugtha freisin.
They will be in effect from 10pm Thursday until 10am Friday.
Beidh siad i bhfeidhm ó 10pm Déardaoin go dtí 10am dé hAoine.
The public has been asked to be on their guard in relation to elderly or vulnerable people who live around them.
Tá iarrtha ar an bpobal a bheith ar a n-airdeall maidir le daoine aosta nó leochailleacha atá ina gcónaí thart timpeall orthu.
Age Activism Ireland says some older people are worried about fuel bills and are at risk of being reluctant to turn on their heating.
Deir an t-eagras Aoisghníomhaíocht Éireann go bhfuil daoine aosta áirithe buartha faoi bhillí breosla agus go bhfuil an baol ann go mbeidh drogall orthu a dteas a chur ar siúl.
The organization reminded elderly people to check their bills, to ensure that they have received the allowances they are owed.
Chuir an t-eagras i gcuimhne go dhaoine aosta a mbillí a sheicéail, lena chinntiú go bhfuil na liúntais atá dlite dóibh faighte acu.
They also reminded them that they are entitled to apply for an additional allowance through their local social welfare office.
Mheabhraigh siad dóibh freisin go bhfuil siad i dteideal iarratas a dhéanamh ar liúntas sa mbreis tríd a n-oifig leasa shóisialta áitiúil.
They also pointed out that a large proportion of the elderly population lives in houses with a low energy rating, F or G.
Thug siad le fios freisin go gcónaíonn sciar mhór den phobal scothaosta i dtithe a bhfuil rátáil íseal fuinnimh déanta orthu, F nó G.
And that in the case of those people, they are very dependent on fossil fuels, energy that is also extremely expensive at the moment, they say.
Agus gur i gcás na ndaoine sin, go bhfuil siad ag brath go mór ar bhreosaí iontaise, fuinneamh atá thar a bheith costasach faoi láthair freisin, a deir siad.
