Costello continues six-year protest at Mater A&E

A Labour Party TD is calling on the Minister for Health to resign over A&E overcrowding in Dublin's Mater Hospital.

For the past six years, a protest is held weekly to highlight the crisis by Labour Party TD for Dublin Central Joe Costello.

The A& E department had to be closed on Thursday due to heavy rainfall which caused its roof to collapse, but prior to that 42 patients were on trolleys on Tuesday.
