For the second day in a row, Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda has the country's highest number of patients in an Emergency Department waiting for admission.
According to figures by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, there are 37 people on trolleys in the department and in corridors waiting for a bed in the hospital itself.
This is the same number as were on trolleys in the Lourdes yesterday.
The other most overcrowded emergency departments are in the Mid-Western Regional Hospital, Limerick where 30 people were waiting for admission, 23 people in Naas General and 21 in Cork University Hospital.
