The public is asked not to attend Cavan General Hospital A&E except for genuine emergency cases.

The General Manager of the acute hospital issued a memorandum yesterday, Monday, November 28 to GPs and the general public, outlining the situation.

Su-Zann O’Callaghan described the ED as "exceptionally busy". "Anyone attending the Emergency Department with a non-urgent condition will experience very long wait times to be seen," she said.

"Unfortunately, this sort of situation is now a frequent occurrence and we sincerely apologise for that. As always, the staff are working very hard to treat and care for those who are particularly ill. To help us free up beds, we need patients and families to work with us at the point of discharge and accept placements that may be immediately available."
