The number has increased by over 100% in the last 24 hours.

There's been a surge in the number of people being treated on trolleys at Naas General Hospital in the last 24 hours.

Yesterday, the INMO report 11 people in the Emergency Dept. without beds.

That has increased, sharply, to 24 today.

That's the highest figure in the Dublin-Midlands Hospital Group.

Nationwide, there are 386 people on trolleys at Ireland's hospitals.

Over-crowding is most acute at University Hospital Limerick, where 59 patients are on gurneys
