The mother of a young woman who spent 17 hours on a trolley at University Hospital Limerick before her tragic death has said continued record overcrowding in the hospital is devastating for her family.

Eve Cleary, 21, died in 2019 from a blood clot, just four hours after being discharged from UHL, where she had spent 17 hours on a trolley after a fall in Limerick city centre.
