Limerick’s main A&E ‘is failing to cope’
Former health minister Michael Noonan, who revealed the incident yesterday, said the closure of A&E departments in Nenagh, Ennis and St John’s in Limerick will make matters worse at the under-resourced A&E at the main regional hospital.
He said: “There were 18 patients on trolleys this morning after one of the finest weekends — weather-wise — of the year with no epidemic of any sort around. How are they going to cater for people from Nenagh and Ennis? For a Monday morning this is extremely high.
