The INMO say the types of records being broken at Cork University Hospital are nothing to be proud of.
The union were speaking after their Trolley Watch report recorded a new high of 90 patients being treated on trolleys in the hospitals Emergency Department.
INMO reps in Cork say they are are raising health and safety concerns with hospital management on an almost daily basis and are warning that nurses will "vote with their feet" and leave the hospital if the situation continues to get worse.
Speaking to RedFM News, Colm Porter from the INMO in Cork says immediate action must be taken to tackle the crisis at CUH.
"From a nurse's point of view their number one priority is to provide safe, high quality patient care, but the conditions they are working at CUH makes it very, very challenging for them at the minute.
"Nurses in UCH are grappling with extreme pressure, it's not just in the emergency department - it's right across the hospital.
"For the first time we've seen trollies being placed in ward corridors in CUH - more often than not these trollies are at 100% capacity."
