A Dublin man has described Beaumont Hospital's emergency department as a "warzone" after waiting 16 hours without being seen.
The patient, who wishes to remain anonymous, attended the hospital at 1pm yesterday due to serious dizziness and other head issues. However, he left 16 hours later without being seen due to "exhaustion" from waiting.
He told Dublin Live: "We were sitting out in the tent area because the waiting area was packed. I got my bloods taken at 4pm and then the evening went on and we didn't hear any updates, I assume the staff were run off their feet."
