A 90-year-old pensioner woman was forced to endure more than 48 hours of pain on a trolley and chair during the worst ever period of overcrowding at University Hospital Limerick.

Retired businesswoman Ann Talty, from Raheen, Co Limerick, was admitted to the emergency department after her health deteriorated due to back pain she had been experiencing for two weeks.
