Orlaith Condon

Storm Emma is expected to make landfall around mid-afternoon.

Met Éireann upgraded their weather warning to a Status Red for the entire country last night, and it will remain until 3pm tomorrow, Friday.

It comes as Taoiseach Leo Varadkar urged people to follow the safety warnings about the expected blizzard conditions, urging people to stay indoors after 4pm on Thursday.

However, transport links have yet to completely shut down.

Here are the latest transport updates for those relying on it today.

Bus Éireann has cancelled all services in light of the updated red weather warning across the country.

That includes their Expressway services. You can follow the latest updates here.
