The association says waiting lists have been lengthening for a decade.
A consultants' group says the Covid 19 pandemic is not to blame for the fact that almost 900,000 people are on hospital waiting lists.
An estimated 10,000 people are on various waiting lists for treatment at Naas General Hospital.
A significant proportion of the total number of patients have been waiting to be seen for over a year.
The IHCA ays waiting lists have been "deteriorating progressively over the past decade, despite HSE claims that the service was resourced to bring these lists down"
