Deputy Timmy Dooley's comments come after nurses in Dooradoyle described the situation there as 'utter chaos', with 36 patients reported to be on trolleys on Friday.
The INMO claims there is a 'critical shortage of nurses' in the region's main hospital, and that it cannot cope with the influx of all acutely ill patients from Clare, Limerick and North Tipperary.
€620m is to be taken out of the health service this year, but Deputy Dooley thinks it is extra money that is needed for the region's main hospital.
