Committee on Public Petitions
Consideration of Public Petition to Reopen Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's Emergency Departments: Discussion
Ms Marie McMahon:
Can I just go back to what Deputy Devlin was asking, which was whether there was any noticeable difference in figures since July?
In August the figure was kind of creeping up. All through September and during the first two weeks of October we had record-breaking numbers. For the first time, in the first week of September the number went over 700. Every week through September we had more than 700 on trolleys. That was an average of more than 100 a day, and it was the same for the first two weeks of October. The number was more than 700. To answer the Deputy's question, no, it has not made any difference.
