With the Beast from the East in full swing this morning, a number of Dublin-based businesses have decided to remain closed for the day.
So just in case you were feeling brave enough to actually step outside the front door and head out, it might be worth checking which stores and businesses will even be open today.
Here are a few Dublin spots that will definitely be closed for the day.
IKEA Dublin in Ballymun and the IKEA Order and Collection Point in Carrickmines will be closed today, Wednesday 28 February 2018 due to adverse weather conditions.
