"Children are cramped in chairs, buggies and hallways in an unsettling environment".
That's the first hand experience of an Offaly parent who spent 5 days in Temple Street hospital with his daughter.
Many health and safety issues were observed in the hospital with parents required to sleep on the floor, to stay with their children overnight.
