Severe weather impacting Tipperary roads

Tipperary gardai are warning motorists to slow down on the county's routes as torrential rain has resulted in excess surface water on many roads.

It's already lead to a number of minor collisions while the conditions on the M8 and M7 are said to be quite dangerous in parts.

Conditions are expected to ease for a time this afternoon but Met Eireann is forecasting extremely wet and stormy weather for the weekend.
