Overcrowding issues at Letterkenny University Hospital were highlighted at A Day of Action protest on Saturday
Despite a lower-than-hoped-for crowd turning up, a passionate demonstration sent a clear message to healthcare chiefs that the current situation won't be tolerated.
Around 200 people attended the protest with some snow and ice still lingering on the footpaths.
Organiser, Donegal Aontú Rep Mary T Sweeney of the Letterkenny Hospital Campaign said a Hospital Action Committee would be formed with names taken of interested parties.
The establishment of a minor injury clinic in Letterkenny was put forward as one possible solution to alleviate pressure on the Emergency Department at LUH.a
Further demonstrations will be planned if the crisis continues.
