There were 46 patients on trolleys there yesterday – officials with the UL Hospitals group say there has been an increase in emergency presentations over the last week.
Efforts are being undertaken to ensure that patients who have finished their care can be discharged, and the public are asked to stay away from the ED except in the case of an emergency.
Clarecastle Fine Gael TD Joe Carey has called for an immediate end to the ongoing issues at Dooradoyle.
