Dunno, went to Beaumont with me shoulder back in August and spent the whole day queuing in A&E. If I had Mrs. Catcher's now knowledge of Drogheda A&E I woulda gone north. In theory you ought to end up in the right place regardless of where you present. Head injuries, for example, are routinely air lifted to Beaumont and heart is surgery generally referred to the matter.

Funny (well, not at the time) enough my mother went to the Mater Private of her own accord a few weeks back and was sent to Beaumont where she spent a night in a chair because that's where her records were and they reckoned (correctly, as it transpired) that a change in medication was all that was required.
