How to call emergency services in Ireland
For 999 or 112, state your location clearly first (townland, road name, and nearest landmark if rural — Irish rural addresses can be difficult to locate). State whether you need Garda, ambulance, or fire service. Operators speak English and have translation services available. In rural Ireland, providing GPS coordinates or an Eircode helps emergency services locate you. The Garda text service is available for deaf or speech-impaired persons: text 999.
