That’s according to figures released in a new report by Minister for Health Mary Harney this week.

Of those attending, 12 were sexual assaults which were all referred to Gardai by staff at the unit.

The average age of those seeking the service in Galway last year was 21, the youngest person being 15 and the oldest 34 years of age.
