Labour TD Joe Costello says protests at Mater will go on

A weekly protest against overcrowding outside the Mater Hospital in Dublin continues today.

It is part of an ongoing campaign to highlight overcrowding and delays at the facility's A&E department.

Protesters claim that 29 people were left waiting on trolleys this week, and that patients are at risk of contracting MRSA due to hygiene problems.

Local Labour TD Joe Costello has said the protests will continue every weekend unless action is taken.
