Galway Bay fm newsroom – A 77 year old man from Cappataggle was left waiting on a trolley at UHG for seven 7 days.
Billy O’Loughlin’s son has described the 172 hour wait in the Emergency Department as a “bad dream”.
Mr O’Loughlin, who has long standing health issues, was brought in last Wednesday by ambulance after feeling unwell after a dental procedure.
He has Macular Degeneration, which affects his vision, has poor mobility, and is also in renal failure, needing dialysis.
Speaking to Galway Talks, Liam O’Loughlin describes the situation his dad was left in for those seven nights:

Galway Bay fm newsroom – An Bord Pleanala is being urged to “get the finger out” and make a decision on a proposed major sports complex at Renville near Oranmore.
The project would involve the creation of three grassed playing pitches, synthetic pitches, and training areas, as well as a new looped amenity walkway.
It was previously given the green light by county planners – but that decision was overturned by An Bord Pleanala.
It prompted a fresh bid to secure permission for the development, which is now once again with An Bord Pleanala for a final decision.
Local councillor Liam Carroll feels a decision is long overdue.
Galway Bay fm newsroom – Local TD Michael Fitzmaurice says proposed new turf regulations are a “workable” solution – but should have been this way from the start.
People will still be able to sell turf but they are not permitted to advertise the goods online or in local press – and can no longer sell from petrol stations or shops.
Deputy Fitzmaurice says the new regulations seem to be a positive development and generally hold things as they were for most people.
And speaking to Galway Talks, he argues Minister Eamon Ryan should have had the sense to do it right from the beginning.
