Demonstration held at Sligo University Hospital to highlight 'crisis'

Demonstrators held a protest at Sligo University Hospital this afternoon.

The demonstration in Sligo is one of 17 at hospitals across the country today over the overcrowding crisis in emergency departments.

114 patients were waiting on trolleys at Sligo University Hospital this week alone.

Ciarán Tracey, organiser of the demonstration in Sligo is hopeful the protests will highlight the 'crisis' felt in Irish hospitals:
