The weather system, which has been dubbed "Son of the Beast", is not expected to be as severe as the extreme winter storms which hit Ireland earlier in the month.
However, it will be seen as a massive nuisance to farmers and rural communities who are still counting the cost of the heavy snow which did millions of euro worth of damage to property and livestock and severely disrupted daily life effected areas, especially in the southeast of the country.
