A County Councillor has blasted management at Letterkenny University Hospital for the ‘shambolic' conditions there and called on the government to take urgent action.

Cllr Tomás Sean Devine was speaking after visiting a friend there last light, describing the Emergency Department as a ‘battlefield’.

“It’s like a battlefield in there - crowds, no beds and this is 2026,” the 100% Redress Party representative posted on his Facebook page.

“It’s a shambles, this government has a lot to answer for. When you go in through them doors and see what nurses, doctors and patients in there and what they’re going through.”

Cllr Devine said something needs to be done to ‘wait this government up’, went on to describe the situation as ‘shambolic’ and also said the hospital needs ‘new management’.

Two weeks ago, Donegal Daily reported on the ‘completely unsafe’ situation inside the hospital’s ED.
