Naas racecourse
Racing is going ahead at Naas on Tuesday after an early-morning inspection at the track.
The track was found to be fit for racing and the ground is yielding, yielding to soft in places, with the first race is at 12.05pm.
Elsewhere Monday afternoon's National Hunt meeting at Lingfield has been abandoned due to frozen ground, RTE reports.
Despite rising temperatures, an inspection held at 7.30am found the track to be unfit for racing.
Over 20 millimetres of rain has fallen, along with melting snow, but there is still some frost in the ground.
With the course set to stage another jumps meeting on Wednesday, officials will be working hard to make the track raceable.
Lingfield Racecourse tweeted: "Following an inspection this morning, today's racing (19 December) has been abandoned due to inconsistent ground that remains frozen in places, despite the encouraging temperatures there has been insufficient time for the ground to recover."
