Forty six children on trolleys in worst paediatric overcrowding on record 

The INMO is engaging with management across all Children's Health Ireland sites to request the prioritisation of emergency admission.

The high level of overcrowding in hospitals is making it difficult to safely treat sick children, the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) has warned.

Tuesday marks the worst day on record for paediatric overcrowding, with 46 children waiting for a bed.
