Nurses say the level of overcrowding at both Ennis General and the region's main hospital is continuing to rise.
Figures from the INMO show the number of people waiting for beds in the county town has risen from 41 between January and April last year to 220 in the first three months of this year.

While, there has been a 8% increase in trolley numbers at University Hospital Limerick in the same period.
The figures have been compiled ahead of the INMO's Annual Conference which is taking place in Kilarney today, where nurses are calling for more investment in the Health Service.
INMO General Secretary Liam Doran says the new Government needs to step out of the political circle and make serious improvements.
