Snow has been falling in some areas and is expected to continue on high ground above 150m (approx 500ft)

The UK Met Office and Met Éireann issued the warnings as the mix of rain and snow moved in on Sunday night and the early hours of Monday.

Untreated roads across the island will be icy for the morning commute.
