Management at Tipperary University Hospital are reiterating their public plea today that people only attend the A&E in the case of a genuine emergency.
The Clonmel hospital has experienced a rise in ED activity for much of this week, with high numbers presenting with a variety of complex needs.
People are being asked to consider contacting your GP or Caredoc out-of-hours services in the first instance, where possible.
INMO figures today show there are 15 people on trolleys in Clonmel, and 47 in University Hospital Limerick.
