The Labour Party candidate for Dublin North, Brendan Ryan, will be joined by Labour Party public representatives, party members and members of the public to protest at the ongoing overcrowding crisis at the Accident and Emergency department of Beaumont Hospital.

The protest will take place outside the hospital on Saturday, September 30th from 1pm – 2pm.

All welcome!

When Mary Harney became Minister for Health she launched a ten point plant to eliminate the A+E crisis once and for all.

The crisis in our hospital A&E has gone from bad to worse in the last three years. Throughout the month of August there was an average of 10 patients waiting on trolleys in Beaumont A+E . The figures for the year to date show that the average number of people on trolleys remained in double digits for every month.

On Saturday, September 30th, Labour will continue to highlight this issue and we need your support.

We ask those who share our concern about the A&E services on Dublin's northside to lend their support at the protest which takes place from 1-2pm on Saturday, September 30th at the front entrance to Beaumont hospital.
