Student safety guide for International students in Ireland

What to do in an emergency?

  • Ireland does not have local police forces. Instead, there is a nationwide force called The Guardians of the Peace (A Garda Síochána), established in 1922 that is led by a commissioner.

  • If you happen to face any emergency, call the “blue light” services – Garda Síochána, ambulance, fire and Irish Coast Guard on the toll free numbers – 112 or 999.

  • You can call 112 from anywhere in Europe.

  • If you need to report a crime that does not require immediate attention, visit your local Garda station.
