The level of overcrowding at the region’s main hospital is continuing to spiral, heading into the weekend.

The latest figures from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation shows there were 80 patients waiting for beds at University Hospital Limerick this morning, 60 of those on trolleys in the Emergency Department.

The overall figure is almost double the next busiest facility – Galway University Hospital – where 34 patients were waiting for beds this morning.
