Hospital management issued a statement this evening to Northern Sound News saying our Emergency Department is experiencing high volumes of patients.

The enhanced service will also provide improved connectivity to Cavan General Hospital and Monaghan Institute.

Cllr Peter McVitty brought the matter to the fore at this week's sitting of Cavan County Council.

Emergency services were called to the scene of the fire in Ballyjamesduff just before 2 o clock this morning.

Gardaí and emergency services attended the scene of a two vehicle collision yesterday evening.

Nationally, just under 107,000 adverse incidents happened in hospitals across the country last year, an increase from the 2021 figure of 95,696.

People are being asked to attend GPs and pharmacies where possible.
