You can get reasonably good information about road conditions for the main national primary roads (N18, N24 and N25) on the route here. Someone else here will probably have drive some of the Limerick section recently.

Best way up from Wexford would be to go to Dublin and head across from there. It's safer than all the other routes as it's all motorway and well gritted / salted. It's also quicker in these conditions too.

In these icy conditions I'd imagine the two obvious routes - the N24 Waterford to Limerick and the N80 Enniscorthy to Moate - would be poor, especially given how narrow and twisty some sections are.

I would take the N11 to Dublin, then the M50 and the M4/M6 motorway to Galway.

I would have thought that but according to AA roadwatch live map, there are no real problems on the main N24.
