In July alone, there were 662 patients on trolleys, which is more than a hundred more than the next busiest facility.
Management at the hospital have previously said that additional bed capacity is required to ease overcrowding, and plans for a new 96-bed unit are progressing.
At Ennis General Hospital, the number of patients awaiting treatment has more than halved.
