Staff and management at Regional Hospital Mullingar are apologising for any inconvenience caused.
A hospital in the Midlands is warning the public that it is currently experiencing a rise in patient admissions.
Regional Hospital Mullingar says patients attending its Emergency Department with non-urgent conditions should expect significantly longer waiting times.
Hospital management is urging patients with non-emergency conditions to seek care elsewhere in the health service where possible.
This includes local injury units, pharmacists, GPs, and GP out of hours services.
Anyone who requires emergency hospital care will be seen, and are being urged to not delay attending the Emergency Department.
