Tuesday, 24 March 2020 13:21

The highest number waiting in the country is in Limerick.

There's just 32 people on trolleys in Irish hospitals across the country today - compared to more than 570 this time last month.

Two are waiting on a bed in the Regional Hospital in Mullingar, one person is on a trolley in Regional Hospital Portlaoise while one more is in a similar situation in Tullamore Regional Hospital.

The highest is nine in University Hospital Limerick.

The number of patients on trolleys has been low over the past few weeks, due to the coronavirus outbreak.
