The overall figure is 27 more than the next busiest facility; Cork University Hospital, and comes on a day when there were 702 admitted patients waiting on trollies at hospitals across the country.
The Health Minister says some hospitals are failing to clear their weekend patients, leading to an increase in trolley numbers.
Minster Stephen Donnelly says he’s met with the HSE to ensure the right rostering is in place for the next few weekends.
