Staff at Cavan General Hospital protested during their lunch break last month over staffing levels within the facility.
Cavan Councillor Shane P O'Reilly who is running for Independent Ireland in the Cavan-Monaghan constituency in the upcoming election says he knows the great work the staff do first hand at the hospital. He says morale is on the floor and the problem isn't at local level it's at national level.
