There are a total of 529 people who have been left waiting on hospital trolleys on Thursday.
That is down from 604 on Wednesday.
The majority of patients waiting for a bed are in University Hospital Limerick, with 98 - followed by 46 in Cork University Hospital - and 44 in Galway.
After that, there is Sligo University Hospital with 33 people on trollies and Letterkenny University Hospital with 24 people without a bed this morning.
It comes as last month the Irish Nursing and Midwives Organisation (INMO) reported that overall 10,577 were without a bed in May.
10,577 patients, including 195 children, have gone without a bed in Irish hospitals this May. The recruitment embargo is affecting the ability to provide safe and timely care in our hospitals across the country. This cannot be allowed to continue to grow over the Summer months. pic.twitter.com/OR25IrDPIj
