A meeting of the Emergency Department taskforce is underway to discuss the overcrowding crisis.
It follows the HSE's announcement last night of several changes for a number of hospitals, including extra beds and help from private hospitals.
The HSE has committed to opening 28 additional acute hospital beds at Galway University Hospital, which is also one of ten hospitals to benefit from 60 transitional care beds.
University Hospital Limerick will receive additional diagnostic services, and there has been no announcements for Ennis.
On his way into this morning's meeting, Health Minister Simon Harris, said he wants to be the Minister who ends the crisis.
