Council Says Salt Stocks Sufficient Amid Subzero Conditions

Clare FM

Clare County Council says it's confident its salt stocks are sufficient to get it through the worst of the cold weather. Local authority crews are ploughing and gritting priority routes throughout the county this week, with priority one and two roads gritted each morning from 6am, again during the day and finally in the evening from 7pm. The county remains under a Status Yellow low temperature and ice warning and Met ÉIreann is expected to upgrade its warnings today, with temperatures set to hit minus eight degrees in parts of Clare tomorrow morning. Assistant Chief Fire Officer at Clare County Fire and Rescue Service, Ross Forde says all efforts will be made to treat minor roads where conditions are reported to be of concern.
