The country is trying to get back on its feet after Storm Emma.

At least 12,000 homes are still without power, while 10,000 households have no water.

Irish Water say that reservoirs, particularly in Meath, Westmeath, Longford, Donegal, Leitrim, Wexford and Cork, are running low due to unusually high demand during the cold snap.

As a result, there are water restrictions in some areas to avoid reservoirs emptying, and Irish Water is appealing to people to conserve water.

You can check to see if your area is affected here.

Met Éireann's status orange snow-ice warning for Munster, Leinster, Cavan and Monaghan has been extended until midday tomorrow.

While the status yellow warning for Connacht and Donegal is also in place until midday on Sunday.

Widespread travel disruption is expected across the country as road conditions in many areas remain poor.

Public transport is running again and all airports are open but people are being advised to expect restricted schedules, delays and cancellations.
