Over the last few days, Lunchtime Live has been highlighting the conditions at the Limerick hospital, which is regularly the most overcrowded in the country.
A protest was held at the hospital this afternoon as the Health Minister Stephen Donnelly and HSE Chief Bernard Gloster were visiting.
The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) has described UHL’s Emergency Department as a ‘war zone’ – and Lunchtime Live has been flooded with emails from patients about the conditions all this week.
Limerick woman Teri told the show that her mother was admitted to the Emergency Department six months ago today after suffering a heart attack.
She said she will “never, ever forget” what happened next for as long as she lives.
“When we got to the hospital, there was no room for them to actually bring Mum through,” she said.
“So the ambulance driver - it was a bit like the scene from an officer and a gentleman - he picked Mum up and carried her in his arms to a trolley.
“The place was absolutely jammers. It's just something I will never forget.
“If I could have taken her out of there, I would but that’s the problem, you've no choice; when somebody is that sick, you just have to take a chance and stay there.
“What I saw and what I heard and the smells will stay with me forever, I think.
“I drive past there [now] and I bless myself and I just say, ‘Please God, nobody that I know will ever have to face that in there again.
“It was absolutely horrendous.”

People need to be charged at this stage

These people built our country and this is the level of respect they're shown in their twilight? Where is the dignity? To hear today the health services secretary general is now the highest paid civil servant in the country? I've had enough!!

My daugher is dead and for nothing other than a lack of care . Need i say more .

This is so disturbing - my heart breaks for that Mom and her family. Shame on the health system !

Vote for Harris and this is what you'll have for the next.... 20 years! Or worst!....

Went into lourdres hospital paddys day. Had a bleed in my gut from a tear . I collapse off chair n woke up on the floor n a insian male nurse shouting at me to stop throwing myself on floor he was horrible. I was left 20hrs n close to cardiac arest and not one cared. All management need to be arrested

What such a sad story. So sorry for those patients on trolleys. Such a bad health service the minister should be ashamed of himself. Get rid of health minister waster.

One place you are guaranteed never to meet a politician is an A and E. They prefer the private hospitals.

This has been the state of Irish hospitals for years.

Where is the political opposition in Ireland? From what I can see theyre all the same, just two sides of the same coin. They want to privatise the health servicr, be under no illusion thats where this is going!

That's unbelievable, unreal poor woman 😢

My experience was horrendous, the nurses talked over me about how many breaks they had , when is your next day off . ? How did you enjoy the wedding? Where are you going on holidays? And to beat it all a nurse blamed us for lying on trolleys , because we didn’t support them while they went on strike. On the upside the people coming from the third world will completely feel at home

This is why people like me say nothing will change until we get rid of SF FG
TDs and councillors
Elect people who put IRISH people first never mind what the EU Or anyone else says

Over that last few days.
This issue has been ongoing for 10 years

It’s not just Ireland. I went to A&E in Edinburgh Scotland with a possible kidney infection and they actually advised me you won’t be seen for at least 10 hours. I gave up and stuck it out in my hotel and went to the doctor back in Ireland. I also called the emergency NHS number and nobody answered. Uk health system is in a shambles as well as Irish one.

Horrifying story that sounds like a nightmare only we know it's real and it's because we don't have the public services or infrastructure to deal with the two million or more extra people we have in our small country.
Ireland isn't a rich country either because tonight in the endless Geoengineered rain and in the cold and rain all winter, there are thousands of homeless Irish people sleeping in tents, shelters, cars , doirways and other unsuitable places without hope of a home.
All our homes are in jeopardy too because the Government are insisting on bringing in unlimited numbers of even more migrants even though there's nowhere to put our own people or them.
Things have broken down so much and now Helen McCentee wants to bring in North Korean type Hate Crime Laws where you can be jailed for just speaking or writing "recklessly".
Then there's the World Health Organisation Pandemic Treaty due to take effect in May ending our Sovereignty and giving the WHO supreme powers.
Even our food supplies are under attack from the Globalists using Geoengineering to turn the fields invto bogs that farmers can't plant crops in.
They are on about water scarcity again and are saying that we must use it sparingly and that new houses will have to have water conservation taps and showers, I assume that means giving out a trickle while connected to electricity and a Smart Meter.
Meanwhile the latest is that hundreds of thousands of euro will be put into outdoor swimming facilities.

Everyone in Munster has a court case against Limerick regional at this point.

The Minister for health needs to spend an entire day with all the staff and experience what it is really like for staff and patients on a daily basis. I hope the Minister will not visit for a short time just to tick a box. Time for help and action now!

Every hospital in this country is an utter disgrace. The way my mom was treated while she was dying is something my family and i will never get over. How can a terminally ill patient who is bed bound have their bell plugged out? My poor Mammy had to ring home to ask for a drink of water 😢😢😢
