Peadar Tóibín (AON), Meath West

This Saturday, there will be 17 protests outside 17 hospitals around the country owing to the major overcrowding crisis in accident and emergency departments. These will take at Cork University Hospital and in Kerry, Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Letterkenny, the Causeway Coast, Daisy Hill Hospital, Newry, Monaghan, Cavan, Mullingar, Drogheda, Blanchardstown, Naas and Wexford. People will come out in their thousands and start the protests with a minute's silence for the hundreds who die annually due to overcrowding in our hospitals. It is happening because the HSE has reduced the capacity-----
