Checked against official sources on 30 August 2026.

the emergency number

Call 999 or 112 for An Garda Síochána, fire or ambulance in an emergency.

If you are in danger right now, call this number. Escrow is not an emergency service and cannot send anyone to you.

where to report

You can report to An Garda Síochána at your local Dublin Garda station, by calling 999 or 112, or by emailing reportsexualcrime@garda.ie. You can also go directly to the Dublin Sexual Assault Treatment Unit, with or without Garda involvement.

what to bring

No documents are required to report to An Garda Síochána or to attend the Dublin Sexual Assault Treatment Unit. You can bring a support person or a Rape Crisis Centre worker with you.

the exam window

The Dublin Sexual Assault Treatment Unit, located at the Rotunda Hospital, is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, according to Rape Crisis Ireland. You can book an appointment by calling 01 8171736, or contact the Rotunda switchboard on 01 8171700 outside opening hours and ask for the unit.

the deadline

There is no time limit on reporting a sexual assault to the Gardaí, according to Rape Crisis Ireland. You can report at any point, and the Gardaí can still investigate.
