People advised to expect long delays at Cavan General Hospital's ED

People are being advised to expect long delays at Cavan General Hospital's Emergency Department.

Cavan General Hospital says this is due to a "significant increase in attendances" and a "prolonged period of increased activity".

Those with non-emergency needs are asked to seek alternative medical assistance from a GP or pharmacy.

Cavan General Hospital has requested the public's "continued support in hospital avoidance where possible" and has thanked the public for its support.
