Nationwide, a total of over 600 people today found themselves on trolleys and in chairs awaiting admission to their local hospital, which tops the previous highest number of 569 set in 2011.
Dr. Tony O’Connell, who last May was made A&E Task Force Chairman, has tendered his resignation, while INMO General Secretary Liam Doran noted on Sunday that the Midland Regional Hospital in Mullingar was “in meltdown”. What do you think?
“Yeah but it’s a real boost at this notoriously slow time of the year for everyone in the hospital trolley making industry.”
(Martina Horan, event coordination consultant)
“Three words – Jesus. Loaves. Fishes. Everybody get praying!”
(Marcus Grehan, novelty stationer)
“Typical. You get the new Guinness Book of Records for Christmas and a fortnight later it’s already out of date.”
(Derek Connolly, tour guide)
