In the event of a life-threatening emergency, always dial 999 or 112 to reach the Fire Service, An Garda Síochána, or Ambulance services.

For urgent medical concerns outside of standard GP hours, Newtownmountkennedy is supported by the EDOC (East Doc) service based at St. Columcille’s Hospital, while the village’s central pharmacy provides expert advice and prescription services throughout the week.

Having these numbers to hand ensures that professional help is never more than a phone call away for residents and visitors alike.

The town is supported by 24-hour response teams for critical utility issues. If you encounter a gas leak, a water mains burst, or a power outage, specialised helplines for Gas Networks Ireland, Uisce Éireann, and ESB Networks are available to coordinate rapid repairs.

We also encourage the community to report any significant road hazards or public safety concerns to the Wicklow County Council emergency line to ensure our village remains safe and accessible for everyone.

Crucially, Newtownmountkennedy is equipped with several Public Access Defibrillators (AEDs).

These are located at strategic points throughout the village. Every second counts during a cardiac event, and it is vital that locals and visitors familiarise themselves with these locations.
