Staff and management at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda are to meet over overcrowding difficulties at the hospital.
The hospital is still not taking medical or surgical cases after long delays in recent days.
Paediatric, obstetric and trauma patients are being accepted, but other cases are being referred to hospitals elsewhere in the northeast.
According to the Irish Nurses' Organisation, there were 38 people on trolleys in the hospital's A&E this morning.
Tony Fitzpatrick of the INO said the situation was putting people at risk.
Separately, St Vincent's University Hospital in Dublin says it has been forced to not take ambulance emergencies several times and the situation is reaching a critical juncture.
Today the hospital has 44 patients waiting in its A&E Department and its ability to admit patients is being severely hampered by a major outbreak of the winter vomiting bug.
The number of cases has increased to 64 and 15 of the hospital's 24 wards are affected and closed to new admissions.
St Vincent's has appealed to people not to visit the facility if possible, to reduce the spread of the infection.
