There's been two crashes in Blarney village because of black ice.

Gardaí say there's a collision either side of the village and the road is closed.

Blackstone Bridge is also closed due to hazardous conditions and Gardaí are advising motorists to avoid the Kerry Pike and Healy's Bridge area.

Meanwhile there's been a separate incident in Ballincollig and Gardaí and emergency services are at the scene.

Weather conditions are causing difficult travelling conditions for many this morning.

Frost, ice and fog are fairly widespread, with a cold-snap set to continue for the rest of this week and into next weekend.

Met Éireann's Gerry Murphy says we're in for fairly typical wintry conditions:

"Between the frost and ice, the fog is certainly a morning for taking great care on the road and that will be typical of what we can expect through the week. So overall daytime temperatures rising to between three and six degrees and the nights the temperatures dropping down well below freezing with ice patches and fog in places as well not widespread or not everywhere, but this is typical of what we can expect really through the week so it's a cold spell that would be typical enough for winter in Ireland".
