Meanwhile, the weather for the weekend isn't looking to great either, here's what's in store:
Saturday: "Cold and windy on Saturday with sunny intervals and widespread squally showers. Some of the showers will be of hail and sleet in northern areas with a risk of isolated thunderstorms."
"Highest temperatures will range from 4 to 7 degrees generally but reaching 8 or 9 degrees along the south coast. Winds will be strong west to southwest in direction with gales or strong gales along northern coasts."
Sunday: "Rather cloudy to start the day on Sunday with some mist and drizzle. However, it is expected to brighten up with good dry periods for a time."
"However, by late afternoon cloud will thicken in the southwest and rain will spread across much of Munster and Connacht by evening time. Maximum temperatures of 5 to 8 degrees. The rain will extend nationwide early on Sunday night accompanied by strong southeast winds. Some snowfall is possible for a time in Ulster and north Connacht."
"Minimum temperatures of 1 to 4 degrees in the north but a much milder 5 to 9 degrees further south."
