One wrote to Ryanair: "Stuck in London. No flights home until Wednesday evening. Nowhere to stay, no hotel voucher, no food voucher. Limited clothes. Nobody replying and no information."
More than 70 flights were cancelled at Dublin Airport on Monday, mainly due to weather disruption at UK airports with snow and ice causing havoc.
In total, there were 41 departing flights and 32 inbound flights cancelled yesterday.
This comes as Ireland recorded its coldest day in 12 years, since 2010, on Monday as temperatures dipped to -7.2C in Athenry, Co Galway. On the island of Ireland, a weather station in Co Down recorded -9C early on Monday morning.
The chilly milestone was reached early on Monday while the maximum temperature reached anywhere in the country was a mere -3.1C in Ballyhaise, Co Cavan.
The current cold snap is set to end at the weekend but temperatures could plummet even lower before then with Thursday night looking most likely to be the coldest of the week.
Met Éireann says temperatures could hit as low as -7C but Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather says some models shows temperatures in parts of the Midlands could hit as low as -10C.
A Status Yellow low temperature and ice warning covering the entire country also remains in place until Friday.
