95  people on trolleys at Galway public hospitals

Galway's public hospitals are under severe pressure today - with 95 people on trolleys.

At the city hospital, there are 63 people waiting for a bed according to the INMO.

It's the second highest figure in the country today, just behind Limerick at 113.

At Portiuncula Hospital in Ballinasloe, there are 32 patients on trolleys - this is also an atypically high figure for the smaller hospital.
