This is according to figures released by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation.
52 were at Letterkenny University Hospital which is one higher than yesterday and makes it the fifth most overcrowded hospital in the state today.
Yesterday, the HSE urged the public to use all available care options due to the pressure the Emergency Department at LUH was under.
