People are being reminded of other possible options.
The Adult Emergency Department in Midlands Regional Hospital Mullingar is reporting as being extremely busy today.
People are being asked to consider other options, if possible, before attending the ED.
Anyone aged over 16 with sprains and/or strains, minor burns or suspected broken bones in the arms or legs, can instead present to the Regional Hospital Mullingar Minor Injury Unit.
Patients requiring urgent care will still be prioritised.
