Emergency Departments
Dail Éireann — 2022-07-12
============================================================

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

I fully accept that. There is an emergency department plan being put in place for every hospital. There are pressures all over the country. The influx that has been caused by Covid is immense. As we were discussing earlier, May of this year is the highest year on record for attendances to emergency departments, and I emphasise that is in May. We are planning for the winter now.
