Temperatures are set to plunge to as low as -10C [14F] next week, prompting warnings for road users and farmers, while a leading homeless campaigner has said it could be a life-or-death situation for those sleeping rough.

In its forecast for next week, Met ?ireann [Ireland's meteorological service] warned of treacherous conditions with some significant accumulations of lying snow, along with widespread severe frost and ice

It issued a yellow cold weather warning for Thursday night, with -3C [26.6F] due in places after darkness fell. While snow is expected over the weekend, the coldest of the weather will come early next week, with temperatures set to plummet as low as -10C on Tuesday night, along with dense freezing fog. A meeting will take place between Met ?ireann and Local Authority Severe Weather Assessment Teams today to discuss the impact of the Arctic blast.

CEO of older persons charity Alone, Se?n Moynihan, told the Irish Daily Mail: The cold weather snap is a public health issue for older people so they need to make smart choices? Even if you?re short on money, our message would be to prioritize heating, medication and food. If you?re worried about the potential of increased costs thats an issue for another day.

Alones services are open 12 hours a day, seven days a week. The charity supports older people and has a cold weather response to support those in need.

Aubrey McCarthy, co-founder of homeless and addiction charity Tiglin, said queues were forming outside the Lighthouse Caf? in Dublin on Thursday, where volunteers were handing out warm clothes and hot food.

He warned: People who cant get accommodation or are sleeping rough because they have other difficulties, will face dire conditions.
