Adverse weather conditions close Dublin stock exchange

The Irish Stock Exchange closed today at noon and said it will remain closed tomorrow, due to the "extreme weather conditions" hitting the country.

The Dublin exchange said it would close to "protect against any potential risk to market integrity" after the Government issued a Red Alert severe weather warning.

Snow storms from Siberia blasted Ireland today with the worst weather since 1982, closing thousands of schools, shops, libraries and grounding planes and bringing public transport to a virtual halt.
