Please be advised that Letterkenny University Hospital is extremely busy today (22nd June).

This has resulted in the hospital being under severe pressure and a backlog in the Emergency Department.   

We regret that patients are currently experiencing long waiting times to be admitted from the Emergency Department to an acute bed in the hospital. We know these delays are very difficult for our patients and their families.
