## Resource

A Clare health campaigner says what she witnessed at University Hospital Limerick this week shows the Mid-West's healthcare crisis is far from over. Friends of Ennis Hospital spokesperson Deirdre Culligan shared a first-hand account from the Emergency Department, describing corridors full of patients, staff under immense pressure and a system she believes is simply not coping. Deirdre joined Alan Morrissey to discuss the situation. Photo (c) MFA Studio via Canva
