A major protest will take place outside Letterkenny University Hospital this afternoon.
The Day of Action protest will begin at 1pm.
It will be one 14 hospital locations to hold a community and staff day of action starting at 1pm to highlight the overcrowding crisis that is impacting the staff and patients equally in our local hospital.
Organisers of the event have pleaded with the public to come out in large numbers.
Mary T. Sweeney, Chairperson of the Letterkenny Hospital Campaign has condemned the latest figures from the HSE which shows A&E continues to deal with record attendance levels.
All 37 Donegal County Councillors have been invited to take part in the protest.
Those interested in taking part in the protest are urged to come out to the Bus Bay, immediately above Letterkenny Hospital’s new A&E entrance, on the Kilmacrennan Road.
