Overcrowding at University Hospital Limerick is “beyond petty party politics” and all parties need to come together to find a solution, the grandson of an 87-year-old man who spent 100 hours on a trolley has urged.

Conor Sheehan also called on UHL management to “take a stronger stance” with Government in asking for supports.
