One visitor per patient only is permitted during normal visiting hours (2pm to 4pm and 6.30pm to 8.30pm), and people who arrive outside of these times are being told they won't be allowed to enter.
Children are also being told to stay away.
28 patients were on trolleys at Dooradoyle yesterday, after nurses reported some of the longest queues of any hospital in the country throughout last week, with the HSE citing flu as the main cause.
