A further 40 people are on trolleys in South Tipperary General Hospital.
In light of current overcrowding, management at South Tipp General are asking members of the public to only attend in the case of a genuine emergency.
They are advising people to go to a GP or Caredoc service where possible and to keep the ED services for those who need them most.
