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 a rape or sexual assault to An Garda Síochána by calling 999 or 112, by emailing reportsexualcrime@garda.ie, or at your local Garda station. You can also attend a Sexual Assault Treatment Unit with or without Garda involvement.

what to bring

An Garda Síochána does not require any documents to make an initial report of sexual crime. You can bring a friend, a solicitor, or a support worker with you to a Garda station.

the exam window

Garda guidance says you may attend a Sexual Assault Treatment Unit if the assault happened in the last 7 days. There are 6 Sexual Assault Treatment Units across Ireland, and forensic samples can be taken there whether or not you involve the Gardaí.

the deadline

Rape Crisis Ireland states there is no time limit on reporting a sexual assault to the Gardaí. You can report immediately or after any length of time, and the Gardaí can still investigate.

support organisations

People near you who do this every day.

These are independent of Escrow. They can sit with you through a report, and they can also just talk.

the honest note

This is information, not legal advice.

Requirements change, deadlines are read differently by different offices, and a station can move. Nobody here is your lawyer. For advice about your own case, ask a lawyer or a support organisation in Ireland.
