University Hospital Limerick (UHL) accounts for 108 of the 549 patients waiting on trolleys across Ireland as overcrowding continues to hit the country's hospitals. 

UHL is once again the worst affected hospital, with 55 patients waiting in the emergency department, while 53 are in wards elsewhere in the hospital. This comes after the Limerick hospital was the most overcrowded in Ireland in October, as 1,876 patients were waiting on trolleys.
