Trolley Watch figures paint a grim picture of the overcrowding situation in our hospitals.

New figures for hospital overcrowding show 130 patients without a bed in University Hospital Limerick — a record figure for the under-siege hospital.

Overall, 563 patients around the country were waiting for a bed on Monday morning, meaning 23% of those waiting are in Limerick, data from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) trolley count shows.
