The Hospital with serves north Tipperary is the most overcrowded in the country again today with 101 patients admitted with no beds for them.
They had a record 132 on trolleys earlier this week and are asking locals to stay away unless their illness is very severe or life-threatening.
Conor’s been telling Tipp Today admits that the increase in winter viruses is crippling the hospital but says it’s also overcrowded year round.
