2,285 of these were in UHL which covers Limerick, Clare and North Tipp.
This was more than double the figures for the next most overcrowded facility which was CUH in Cork at 1,105 for the month.
TUH in Clonmel had 132 patients on trolleys this month while Nenagh Hospital had 45.
Today there are 94 people without a bed at UHL according to the nursing union.
