In light of the ongoing overcrowding at University Hospital Limerick, an Independent Nenagh Councillor has called for the Fire Chief to carry out a full safety audit of the emergency unit.
Councillor Seamie Morris said UHL is not only a risk for patients on trolleys, but also for staff.
He also called for 24 hour A&E units to be re-opened in Nenagh, Ennis and St John’s.
There are plans for a 96-bed modular unit, but Councillor Morris told Tipp FM News this won’t solve all of the problems and he wants to see the recruitment ban lifted.
