Road users and pedestrians have been urged to take care over the next few days as snow and ice are still causing difficulties.
The Road Safety Authority (RSA) warned of hazardous conditions due to the thaw and advised motorists to drive at reduced speeds as road surfaces may be damaged following the recent bad weather.
Drivers are also advised to allow extra distance when passing cyclists as they may have to take evasive action to avoid hazards such as black ice, pot-holes and a build-up of slush.
Pedestrians have also been called upon to wear hi-visibility clothing and to avoid walking on roads if there is a footpath available.
AA Roadwatch said roads are "extremely slippery" as meltwater is adding to already hazardous conditions. Secondary routes, local roads and higher ground as well as many footpaths remain very icy.
Dublin City Council said today it is continuing with its programme to remove compacted ice from streets across the capital. An additional 14 crews have been drafted in from other council divisions to help with the work.
Elsewhere, gardaí today warned of delays on the M9 undertaken by Kildare County Council to clear remaining snow from motorway lanes.
A Garda statement said the operation would start with the clearance of snow from the hard shoulders from junction 2 to junction 4 of the M9 and then the remaining affected lanes. The work is expected to continue until late this evening.
"It is hoped that there will be a minimum effect on traffic movements but some restrictions may be necessary as the operation progresses. Diversions are not planned and most work will be carried out during off peak periods," the statement said.
Mountaineering Ireland called on hillwalkers to be extremely cautious if out at the weekend.
"With the exception of those who are experienced winter mountaineers people should avoid the Irish uplands in these present winter conditions where the dangers of ice particularly in gullies and on approach tracks pose real dangers," said the body's chairman Ruairí Ó Conchúir.
Those who are tempted to take to the hills are reminded to wear dressed properly and to choose routes which are appropriate to their level of experience and fitness.
