Irish nurses urge emergency measures at overcrowded Limerick hospital amid severe weather.

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation is calling for special measures at University Hospital Limerick due to severe weather warnings and over 352 patients on trolleys this week. The hospital's occupancy is at 111%, far above the recommended level. The INMO requests the cancellation of non-urgent care, continuous senior staff presence, and diverting patients to minor injury units to prioritize emergency care.
