UHL has remained by far the most overcrowded hospital in the country this year, with the INMO recording 1,798 patients on trolleys there, outside of weekends and bank holidays, so far this month.

Midwest Hospital Campaign Spokesperson Melanie Cleary says issue cannot be left on the back burner any longer and that the vigil serves as a means of bringing loved ones into 2025 with their families.
