## Resource

Hospitals across Ireland are spending millions on security as violence and anti-social behavior surge inside healthcare facilities—St. James’s leads with nearly €11 million spent in just two years, while University Hospital Galway alone dropped over €8.5 million, reflecting a nationwide crisis that’s forcing hospitals to call on police more frequently and invest heavily to protect staff and patients.
