Your Personal Safety

Avoid situations, where you are travelling alone at night time.
When travelling on foot, use busy routes and well lit walkways.
Don’t display obvious valuables – jewellery, handbags etc. unless completely necessary.
Always take care when using ATM’s.
When socialising, don’t leave an opened drink unattended, even for short periods.
Don’t leave property unattended in libraries, lecture theatres, restaurants or changing rooms.
If you think you are being followed, go to the nearest place where there are other people, and contact the Gardaí.
If you are assaulted, help is available to you from the Gardaí 24 hours a day.
Remember, no mobile phone credit is needed to make 999/112 emergency calls.

Security of Your Accommodation

Lock your front/back doors at all times. If leaving, check that all windows are locked.
Take care when letting in callers – ask for identification if in doubt.
Take special care of valuables, including laptops, IPods and mobile phones.
Always lock outside doors.
Use your door chain.
If you receive strange or abusive phone calls, contact the Gardaí / Campus Security. page 64/65

Security of Your Bicycle, Car or Motorcycle

When you purchase a bicycle, make sure you keep a receipt showing ID details.
Secure your bicycle by using a good quality locking device.
Leave your bicycle, car or motorcycle in an area which is supervised or where it can be seen.
Don’t leave valuables in your car. If you must, then keep them out of sight in the boot.
Don’t leave personal documents – driving licences, insurance certificates etc. in your car.
Consider fitting a good quality alarm and/or immobiliser as well as a chain/padlock.
Don’t pick up hitch-hikers.
Secure parking for motorcycles can be difficult to find. ‘U’ shaped pieces of scaffolding pole embedded into concrete, and located in areas, which have good natural surveillance can be the answer to the motor cyclist’s theft problem.

The National Age Card

Remember that you can apply for "The National Age Card” once you have reached 18 years of age.
This is a state of the art identification card which provides you with the means to prove your age when requested.
The card can be applied for through your local Garda station.
Check it out on www.agecard.ie
Your local Garda station will also be able to give you details.
