Trolley figures reach an all-time high

Mr Varadkar said it is “not entirely clear” what is going wrong after the number of people waiting on trolleys hit an all-time record high of 714, and as nurses lashed out at the “absolutely unsafe” conditions.
According to the latest Irish Nurses and Midwives’ Organisation figures, some 714 people were waiting on trolleys yesterday morning, including a 64-year-old man waiting 109 hours at Tallaght Hospital.
