Jerry Cowley (Mayo, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the reason 24 people are on trolleys in Mayo General Hospital with serious health and safety issues arising as regards toilet facilities, lack of hot food — there is no more hot food for people on trolleys in Mayo General Hospital — spread of infection and unacceptable treatment facilities for older people some of whom are waiting on a trolley for a week — an 80 year old woman has been waiting on a trolley for the past three days to be treated for a heart attack——
