‘Lack of A&E space did not force ambulance treatment’
The allegation was made by Labour’s Joe Costello who also claimed that a 73-year-old woman with heart and lung problems had been lying on a trolley in Dublin’s Mater Hospital since last Wednesday.
“On top of this, there are ambulances parked outside which are being used to treat patients who cannot get a bed or a trolley in the A&E unit. The entire situation is a mess,” he said.
