    Hi,

    I was just wondering if anyone knew what next of kin details emergency services like the guards for example have on file for individuals? I don't think I've ever given this info to anyone, but am wondering who would be contacted if for example I was in an accident. Is it automatically my parents, if I'm not married and how would they know? Do they look at your purse to find out?

    I'm not very close to my parents and would prefer for my boyfriend to be notified but am unsure who to give that info to.
    Thanks

    Gardai won't store that kind of information. Many smart phones have the option to input next of kin or contact in emergencies details and this can be opened without needing the phone pin. Also storing a contact on your phone using ICE (in case of emergency) is something they would look out for if your phone is unlocked. Your GP will take next of kin details. Your local community policing unit should have stickers that you can put up at home where you can put all these details. Your passport also has a space for it I think.
