Vigil For Victims Of UHL Overcrowding Refixed For Tomorrow

A candle-lit vigil to remember victims of overcrowding at University Hospital Limerick has been refixed for tomorrow.

The event had been due to take place on New Year’s Eve, but had to be postponed due to inclement weather and a surge in flu cases and will now take place at 12 noon on Saturday outside the main gates of the Dooradoyle facility.
