Drivers urged to be cautious as rain returns
Dublin Fire Brigade is warning drivers to take care on the roads as the rain returns.
After the long dry spell, rain causes oils, rubber and other contaminants to rise to the surface of the road, making them very slippy.
They are urging drivers to leave extra braking space and take bends slower.
