14 people are currently waiting for a bed in Cavan General Hospital with 931 nationally waiting on hospital trolleys across the country

The INMO are calling for a return of the mask mandate, as hospital overcrowding reaches record highs.

Figures from the union show 931 people are currently being treated on trolleys nationwide, with 97 patients in University Hospital Limerick going without a bed.
