Na mílte gan uisce, gan aibhléis de bharr an tseaca mhóir. Thousands of people are without electrical power and water supply in various parts of the country due to the severe frost. Tá na mílte daoine gan cumhacht leictreach agus soláthar uisce in áiteanna éagsúla sa tír mar gheall ar an sioc mór. The Electricity Supply Board says that around 40,000 customers are currently without electricity and the company estimates that some of those people will not have power restored for the next few days. Deir Bord Soláthair an Leictreachais gur thart ar 40,000 custaiméir atá gan leictreachas faoi láthair agus measann an comhlacht nach mbeidh an chumhacht ar ais ag roinnt de na daoine sin go ceann cúpla lá eile. Irish Water says around 40,000 customers are without water supply but the company is hopeful that it will be restored to most of them by lunchtime. Deir Uisce Éireann go bhfuil thart ar 40,000 custaiméir gan soláthar uisce ach tá an comhlacht dóchasach go mbeidh sé ar ais ag an gcuid is mó acu faoi am lóin. However, water levels in some reservoirs are currently low, which is causing difficulties for technicians trying to restore supply, Irish Water says. Tá leibhéal an uisce i roinnt taiscumar íseal i láthair na huaire, áfach, agus tá sin ag cothú deacrachtaí do na teicneoirí atá ag féachaint leis an soláthar a thabhairt ar ais, a deir Uisce Éireann. Education Minister Norma Foley says most schools in the country are open but some are closed for safety reasons. Deir an tAire Oideachais Norma Foley go bhfuil an chuid is mó de scoileanna na tíre oscailte ach go bhfuil roinnt acu dúnta ar chúinsí sábháilteachta. Areas in the south of the country are most affected, such as Kerry, Cork, Limerick, Tipperary, Waterford, Carlow and Kilkenny. Áiteanna i ndeisceart na tíre is mó atá thíos leis, mar atá, Ciarraí, Corcaigh, Luimneach, Tiobraid Árann, Port Láirge, Ceatharlach agus Cill Chainnigh. In addition to the frost, snow and sleet are affecting people and various services. Chomh maith leis an sioc, tá sneachta agus flichsneachta ag dul i gcion ar dhaoine agus ar sheirbhísí éagsúla. The Health Service Executive says that a number of outpatient appointments have been postponed in Limerick, Ennis and Nenagh due to icy roads in those areas. Deir Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte go bhfuil roinnt coinní othar seachtrach curtha ar athlá i Luimneach, in Inis agus san Aonach de bharr na bóithre sna háiteanna sin a bheith faoi reothalach. Rain, snow, hail and sleet are again promised today and meteorologists say temperatures could drop as low as five degrees below freezing. Tá báisteach, sneachta, clocha sneachta agus flichshneachta geallta arís inniu agus deir na meitéareolaithe go bhféadfadh an teocht titim chomh híseal le cúig chéim faoi bhun an reophointe. Met Éireann has extended the yellow weather warning they had issued by twelve hours. Tá síneadh dhá uair an chloig déag curtha ag Met Éireann leis an bhfógra buí aimsire a bhí eisithe acu. The announcement was due to end at noon this Thursday but that has now been changed to midnight Thursday. Bhí deireadh le teacht leis an bhfógra ag meán lae Déardaoin beag seo ach tá sin athraithe anois go meán oíche Déardaoin.
