4 INTRODUCTION The single European emergency number 112 was adopted by Council decision in July 1991 in order to enable citizens of the EU to call the emergency services (i.e. police, fire and ambulance) by using the same number from anywhere in the EU 1. This has become more and more important as increasing numbers of European citizens travel to other EU countries for work, study or leisure. Since the end of 2008, it has been a requirement for all EU Member States to ensure that anyone can call the emergency services from fixed and mobile phones by using the 112 number. National differences in the availability of emergency numbers Before the formal EU adoption, the 112 emergency number had already been used for several decades as an emergency number in some EU Member States; for example, for the German fire brigade and for the Italian police forces. Nevertheless, most Member States were not familiar with the 112 number. Its adoption at national level led to two categories of countries: a) 112 is the sole/main emergency number In seven Member States, 112 has become the main national emergency number, promoted as the number to be used to contact all emergency services (i.e. police, fire and ambulance). The countries where this is the case are Denmark, Finland, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania and Sweden. Collectively, these countries are referred to as Group 1 in this report. However, some other previous (legacy) 2 national emergency numbers may still route callers to the emergency services in these countries. b) 112 is in operation alongside other emergency numbers Most Member States, however, have decided to introduce 112 as a number that will work alongside their national emergency numbers. The 20 EU countries in this category are referred to as Group 2 in this report. Here, both 112 and national numbers are in service as a way of contacting some or all emergency services. In the UK, for example, citizens can either call 112 or the national number 999 in the event of an emergency. Purpose of the Flash Eurobarometer survey on The European emergency number 112 This Flash Eurobarometer survey is part of a trend survey. The results of previous waves were published in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 Flash Eurobarometer surveys No. 228, No. 262, No. 285, No. 314 and No. 339, respectively. Although the new report builds on these earlier surveys, the format has changed slightly from that used in previous years. However, wherever possible, comparative data for the six waves is presented. An important innovation in this latest edition of the survey is that Croatia is included for the first time. The report deals with the following aspects of the EU-wide emergency number 112: awareness of 112 as an EU-wide emergency number when calling the emergency services in another EU country 1 2 Council Decision of 29 July 1991 (91/396/EEC) and Universal Service Directive of 7 March 2002 (Directive 2002/22/EC), amended by Directive 2009/136/EC of 25 November It is assumed, on the basis of the yearly COCOM reports from the Member States, that these previous (legacy) emergency numbers are no longer publicly advertised for that purpose but are only kept in operation with marginal usage for reasons of public safety. 3
5 awareness of 112 as an EU-wide emergency number among travellers awareness of 112 as an emergency number when calling the emergency services from within one s own country (as a national emergency number) use of the European emergency number 112 as opposed to other national emergency numbers the level of information about the European emergency number 112, and details of the sources of information Methodological note on the survey The interviews were carried out by telephone (fixed-line and mobile phone) between 7 and 9 January 2013 with nationally representative samples of EU citizens (aged 15 and older) living in the 27 Member States as well as Croatia. The target sample size in most countries was 1,000 interviews; in total, 26,624 interviews were conducted. Statistical results were weighted in order to correct known demographic discrepancies. More details on the survey methodology can be found in the annex to this report. N.B. Due to rounding methods used in previous surveys, the percentages shown in the charts do not always add up exactly to 100%. 4

7 I. KNOWLEDGE OF THE EUROPEAN EMERGENCY NUMBER 112 Most EU respondents are not familiar with 112 as the single European emergency number: only slightly over a quarter (27%) correctly identify it as the number to call anywhere in the EU in the event of an emergency. Nevertheless, this is a slight increase on the 26% who correctly identified 112 in the 2012 survey, and a 5-point increase on the 22% who did so in the 2008 wave. About two-thirds (65%) of respondents say that they do not know which number they could call to contact emergency services anywhere in the EU, while a further 8% named an incorrect telephone number (i.e. a number other than 112). Knowledge of 112 as the EU-wide emergency number Q3. Can you tell me what telephone number enables you to call emergency services anywhere in the European Union? Base: all respondents, % EU27 6
8 Awareness of 112 as the European emergency number varies considerably according to the Member State in question. In five EU countries, 50% or more respondents spontaneously identified 112 as the number to call for emergency services from anywhere in the EU: Poland (57%), Slovakia (55%), Finland (54%), Luxembourg (53%) and the Czech Republic (50%). In Croatia (26%), familiarity with 112 is close to the EU average. But at the other end of the scale, less than a fifth of respondents know that they can reach emergency services anywhere in the EU by calling 112 in Italy (5%), Greece (7%), the UK (13%) and Germany (17%). Knowledge of 112 as the EU-wide emergency number Q3. Can you tell me what telephone number enables you to call emergency services anywhere in the European Union? Base: all respondents, % by country 7
9 Over a third of respondents (36%) say that they travelled to another EU country at least once in the past 12 months: 16% made one journey to another EU country, 16% made between two and five trips, and 4% went to different EU countries more than five times within the past 12 months. This is down slightly on the 39% of people who say that they travelled to another EU country at least once during the previous wave of the survey. Over six out of 10 respondents (63%) say that they did not go to any other EU country. Travel to other EU Member States within the past 12 months Q6. In the past 12 months have you travelled in another EU country? Base: all respondents, % EU27 Those who have travelled to an EU country two times or more in the past 12 months were much more likely to be able to name the correct EU-wide emergency telephone number than non-travellers (39% vs. 23%). Just over half of frequent travellers were not able to cite this number, compared to slightly under 70% of non-travellers. 8
10 Across the EU, a majority of respondents (51%) would call 112 in the event of an emergency in their own country, up from 47% in The same number of respondents (51%) say that they would call an official national emergency number, which is also an increase on the 45% of people who gave this answer in While the proportion of respondents who say they would call 112 has been steadily increasing since 2008, the number of people who say they would call a national number had been steadily declining (from 58% in 2008) until this year. The relatively large, sixpoint increase recorded this year is therefore a significant result in the historical context of the survey. One in seven respondents (15%) say that they would call other number(s). Other number responses were recorded when respondents listed an incorrect number (e.g instead of 112 ) or when respondents listed a telephone number that was not an official emergency number in their country (e.g. the telephone number of their local police force or a roadside assistance telephone number). The proportion of EU respondents giving this answer has risen slowly but steadily since 2008, when only 9% of people said they would call other number(s). Telephone number(s) EU citizens would call in the event of an emergency in their own country Q1. Can you tell me what telephone number or numbers you would call in the event of an emergency in (OUR COUNTRY); for example, if someone needs urgent medical assistance or in case you need to contact the police or the fire brigade? Base: all respondents, % EU27 9
11 87% of the respondents were able to list at least one correct emergency number when asked which number to call in the event of an emergency in their own country. Of these, 32% mentioned only the emergency number 112, 34% mentioned only an official national emergency number(s), 14% mentioned both 112 and a national number and the remaining 7% listed 112, a national number and other incorrect numbers. The proportion of respondents that we might categorise as being at risk of not being able to call the emergency services because they were unable to list at least one correct emergency number in their country was 13% at EU level. Among these people at risk, 9% mention only an incorrect number ( other numbers ) and 4% say they didn t know. 10
12 39% of people who say they would call 112 in a national context also identify 112 as the EU-wide emergency number. This is a very slight increase on the 38% of respondents in this category who said this in Knowledge of 112 as the EU-wide emergency number by those who would call 112 in a national context Q3. Can you tell me what telephone number enables you to call emergency services anywhere in the European Union? Base: those who would call 112 in the event of an emergency in their own country, % EU27 11
13 II. USAGE OF THE EUROPEAN EMERGENCY NUMBER 112 Across the EU, 46% of respondents (no change compared with 2012) who called an emergency number called only 112, while 52% (no change) say that they called only a national emergency number. Just 3% of respondents (+1) say that they called both. For this question, the sample of respondents was divided into two halves (the split ballot method). As a result, the responses can be separated into those that were prompted by the interviewer, as described above (Q2a), and those given spontaneously, as described below (Q2b). In the Group 1 countries, where 112 is the sole or main emergency number, a large majority of respondents say that they called only 112 in Romania (98%) and Finland (96%). Fewer people give this answer in the Netherlands (64%) and Denmark (68%), where a relatively high number of respondents (35% and 21% respectively) say that they called only another national number 3. In the Group 2 countries, where national emergency numbers are also in use, the number of people who only called the EU-wide emergency number 112 was highest in Bulgaria (90%), Spain (85%) and Lithuania (80%). In Croatia, 67% of respondents say they called 112 only. But less than a tenth of respondents called only 112 in Greece (3%), the UK (4%) and Austria (8%). In these three Member States, a very high proportion of people say that they called only a national number: 95% say this in the UK, as do 94% in Greece and 90% in Austria. 3 It is important to note that the bases of respondents are quite small at this stage of the analysis, ranging here from 21 people in Malta who called an emergency number during the past 12 months to 128 in Romania. Trend analysis is also omitted when the bases are relatively small. National number(s)" here refers to other legacy numbers which are no longer promoted. 12
14 Number called during an emergency situation in the past 12 months Countries with 112 as the sole/main emergency number are: Denmark, Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania and Malta 13
15 III. INFORMATION ABOUT THE EUROPEAN EMERGENCY NUMBER 112 According to EU legislation, it is the responsibility of individual Member States to inform the public about the existence and use of the European emergency number 112. Since 2009, telecommunications providers have also been obliged to send a text message with information about 112 to people using their mobile phones when they visit another EU country. Seven respondents out of ten (69%) did not come across any information during the previous year, while just over a quarter (28%) say that they saw or heard some information about it. This result is the same as that obtained in 2012, when only 28% of respondents said that they had come across information about the 112 emergency number. Information about the European emergency number 112 Q is the emergency number that can be used to call emergency services anywhere in the European Union. During the last 12 months, have you seen or heard any information regarding the emergency number 112 in (OUR COUNTRY)? Base: all respondents, % EU27 Most citizens who came by information about the 112 number obtained that information via television: 63% did so (compared with 62% in the previous survey). Roughly a quarter of respondents obtained their information from newspapers (25%, -1 compared with 2012), or via public displays (24%, -3). Around a fifth of respondents say that they heard about the 112 service on the radio (21%, no change), through discussions with relatives, friends, or colleagues (20%, no change), or via the Internet (18%, +1). However, relatively few respondents say that they received information from their telecommunications provider via a payphone, directory or bill (8%, -2), through an SMS sent by their telecoms operator while roaming (6%, -1), or via some other means (9%, - 1). 14
16 Sources of information regarding the European emergency number 112 BASE: Those who have seen/heard information regarding the emergency number 112 (n=7176) Q5. Where did you see or hear information regarding the European emergency number 112? 15
18 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
19 FLASH EUROBAROMETER 368 The European emergency number 112 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Between the 7 th and the 9 th of January 2013, TNS Political & Social, a consortium created between TNS political & social, TNS UK and TNS opinion, carried out the survey FLASH EUROBAROMETER 368 about The European emergency number 112 This survey has been requested by the EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology. It is a general public survey co-ordinated by the Directorate-General for Communication ( Research and Speechwriting Unit). The FLASH EUROBAROMETER 368 covers the population of the respective nationalities of the European Union Member States, resident in each of the 27 Member States and aged 15 years and over. It was also conducted in Croatia. The survey covers the national population of citizens (in these countries) as well as the population of citizens of all the European Union Member States that are residents in these countries and have a sufficient command of the national languages to answer the questionnaire. All interviews were carried using the TNS e-call center (our centralized CATI system). In every country respondents were called both on fixed lines and mobile phones. The basic sample design applied in all states is multi-stage random (probability). In each household, the respondent was drawn at random following the "last birthday rule". TNS has developed its own RDD sample generation capabilities based on using contact telephone numbers from responders to random probability or random location face to face surveys, such as Eurobarometer, as seed numbers. The approach works because the seed number identifies a working block of telephone numbers and reduces the volume of numbers generated that will be ineffective. The seed numbers are stratified by NUTS2 region and urbanisation to approximate a geographically representative sample. From each seed number the required sample of numbers are generated by randomly replacing the last two digits. The sample is then screened against business databases in order to exclude as many of these numbers as possible before going into field. This approach is consistent across all countries. A comparison between the sample and the universe was carried out. The Universe description was derived from the national statistics office. The weighting procedure, using marginal and intercellular weighting, was carried out based on this Universe description. Gender, age, region, social class and the vote in the referendum on the Stability Treaty were introduced in the iteration procedure. TS1
20 Readers are reminded that survey results are estimations, the accuracy of which, everything being equal, rests upon the sample size and upon the observed percentage. With samples of about 1,000 interviews, the real percentages vary within the following confidence limits: Statistical Margins due to the sampling process (at the 95% level of confidence) various sample sizes are in rows various observed results are in columns 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% 50% 95% 90% 85% 80% 75% 70% 65% 60% 55% 50% N=50 6,0 8,3 9,9 11,1 12,0 12,7 13,2 13,6 13,8 13,9 N=50 N=500 1,9 2,6 3,1 3,5 3,8 4,0 4,2 4,3 4,4 4,4 N=500 N=1000 1,4 1,9 2,2 2,5 2,7 2,8 3,0 3,0 3,1 3,1 N=1000 N=1500 1,1 1,5 1,8 2,0 2,2 2,3 2,4 2,5 2,5 2,5 N=1500 N=2000 1,0 1,3 1,6 1,8 1,9 2,0 2,1 2,1 2,2 2,2 N=2000 N=3000 0,8 1,1 1,3 1,4 1,5 1,6 1,7 1,8 1,8 1,8 N=3000 N=4000 0,7 0,9 1,1 1,2 1,3 1,4 1,5 1,5 1,5 1,5 N=4000 N=5000 0,6 0,8 1,0 1,1 1,2 1,3 1,3 1,4 1,4 1,4 N=5000 N=6000 0,6 0,8 0,9 1,0 1,1 1,2 1,2 1,2 1,3 1,3 N=6000 N=7000 0,5 0,7 0,8 0,9 1,0 1,1 1,1 1,1 1,2 1,2 N=7000 N=7500 0,5 0,7 0,8 0,9 1,0 1,0 1,1 1,1 1,1 1,1 N=7500 N=8000 0,5 0,7 0,8 0,9 0,9 1,0 1,0 1,1 1,1 1,1 N=8000 N=9000 0,5 0,6 0,7 0,8 0,9 0,9 1,0 1,0 1,0 1,0 N=9000 N= ,4 0,6 0,7 0,8 0,8 0,9 0,9 1,0 1,0 1,0 N=10000 N= ,4 0,6 0,7 0,7 0,8 0,9 0,9 0,9 0,9 0,9 N=11000 N= ,4 0,5 0,6 0,7 0,8 0,8 0,9 0,9 0,9 0,9 N=12000 N= ,4 0,5 0,6 0,7 0,7 0,8 0,8 0,8 0,9 0,9 N=13000 N= ,4 0,5 0,6 0,7 0,7 0,8 0,8 0,8 0,8 0,8 N=14000 N= ,3 0,5 0,6 0,6 0,7 0,7 0,8 0,8 0,8 0,8 N= % 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% 50% 95% 90% 85% 80% 75% 70% 65% 60% 55% 50% TS2

Review: Single Asian Female
It is not often I see myself portrayed on stage, but the family that Michelle Law created in her debut play Single Asian Female is refreshingly familiar. The Wongs are three women on the verge of life-changing events. Pearl's divorce is finally finalized, but she faces another problem; Zoe struggles to navigate being single and finds herself pregnant after a one-night stand; and Mei is just shy of finishing high school.
Review: Poopie Tum Tums
Signing up to review an unnamed sketch comedy show that your editors placed up for grabs in the Media Collective Facebook group is like a Tinder date. You get dressed up, agree to meet up at a bar couple hours after dark and hope that it would not end with you feeling violated in any way. I wish I could say that I walked out of Poopie Tum Tums with a sore stomach and a thirst for more, but alas, that was not the case. My housemate (whom I begrudgingly dragged to this 10pm show) and I both walked of The Butterfly Club feeling very disturbed and confused.
Review: People Suck: A Musical Airing of Grievances
If you've ever sat through a really long rant from a mate because their date flaked out on them or someone stole their lunch at the office, you would already have a sense of what People Suck: A Musical Airing of Grievances is about. It is an hour-long song cycle with an indisputable premise: all the ways people suck. With its catchy melodies and strong vocal performance, the cast takes you through jealous bridesmaids, anti-vaxxers, the different types of annoying people at your office and many more.
Review: Universal Estate
After my chat with Antony Hamilton, I was extremely excited to witness the premiere of his latest piece, Universal Estate. I made my way to Arts House and was escorted through large double doors and into a bright, clinical room. It felt as though I had walked into an episode of Black Mirror. It was a four-hour long dance piece, and audiences were allowed to walk in and out as they pleased. They could also choose to sit or stand anywhere within the space, on the designated benches or the floor.
Review: The Big HOO-HAA!
It was with much anticipation that I waited for one of the longest-running improv shows in the country to start. The Big HOO-HAA! usually occurs every Friday night at the Butterfly Club, but they were making a few exceptions for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. The show has been crowned "the original and the best" improv comedy ensemble in Melbourne, and it is easy to see why. A couple minutes in and they've got the crowd howling with laughter.

Review: Mary Queen of Scots
What is the better way to rule as a woman? That is the question Mary Queen of Scots wishes to answer.
Antony Hamilton & 'Universal Estate'
In the middle of the dancefloor lie several elongated television screens stacked in a small pile, surrounded by wires. The speakers pulse in semi-unison, a fury of rhythmic beats that border between white noise and music. The screens flash in synchronized stripes of color. This forms the set to award-winning choreographer Antony Hamilton's new dance piece, Universal Estate.

FRESH STREET#3 - Artistic Programme
The International Seminar for the development of Street Arts | FRESH STREET#3 presents a diverse and imaginative artistic programme.
In January 2019, the ISACS Network in partnership with Galway 2020 launched an open call for artistic presentations in response to the theme 'Place and Identity'for this years FRESH STREET#3, being held in Galway.
Over 120 applications from all over the world were received. A massive thanks is extended towards the dedicated selection panel of Ciaran Walsh – Culture Ireland, Tanja Ruiter – Circostrada & HH Producties and Craig Flaherty of Galway 2020 who trawled through each application in detail.
We are very proud to present the following:
FLOWERS BY BUÍ BOLG (IRELAND) – THE DÉCOR AT TRIBETON IS BY BUÍ BOLG
Tribeton, Galway
Buí Bolg represents a sense of fun with large installations on the streets of the world. Punchy images and interactive performances breathe life into public spaces transforming them into playgrounds for all ages. They come from Wexford and have been touring Ireland, Europe and the world for the last 25 years.
OUR HANDS BY VICKY MALIN (UK)
Tribeton, Galway, exact room tbc | May 22nd, 15:30-17:30, FREE
Uncover the possibilities, stories and perceptions of your hands through an encounter with artist Vicky Malin. Using simple manual tasks and conversation, we reflect on our identity via our hands. Take a fresh look at what feels unique and what seems to connect us to each other? Each encounter lasts approximately 10 minutes, for 1 to 6 people and promises to be very special.
THE SHIP OF DESTINY BY LUXE (IRELAND)
Streets of Galway, exact route tbc | May 22nd, 22:00, FREE
Ship of Destiny is a landscape spectacle that brings audience and performers together and takes them on a journey bringing fire to where the land, the sea and the sky meet. Ship of Destiny's visual journey is a soul quest, and in the tradition of the Imramh seeks to align the three realities - this physical reality, the inner landscape and the otherworlds.
NEW TERRITORIES BY DEANA KOLENČÍKOVÁ (CZECH REPUBLIC / SLOVAKIA)
Inis Oírr, exact location tbc | May 23rd, 11:00, FREE
Deana questions the knowledge, perception and imagination of the audience and participants through drawing a map of Ireland and identifying their own individual current position. These drawings, subconsciously question our identity and political viewpoint of the world, which will in turn form a temporary installation on Inis Oírr.
REMNANTS BY TURAS THEATRE COLLECTIVE (IRELAND)
Inis Oírr, exact location tbc | 23rd May 23rd, 18:00, FREE
Remnants is a moving and powerful presentation on the theme of displacement. Using soundscape, physical theatre and movement it tells a visually spectacular and enthralling tale of three characters whose lives have been disrupted and who find themselves alone and homeless. The story interweaves the characters' fragile pasts with their hope for the future in a beautifully choreographed performance.
ONE SINK, TWO FLOAT BY STUDIO ECLIPSE (BELGIUM)
Galway Docks | 24th May, 17:45, FREE
A duet with dance and visual theatre. The water as unknown, depth, subconscious lets things float or sink.
On this thin membrane between top and bottom one is taken into a surreal and visual story. Two characters find their balance on a platform, amongst themselves with the elements. There is an underworld a world under, which we do not see. It is not shown on the surface or is it?
ADDITIONAL PERFORMANCE
WORK IN PROGRESS OF PUT A SPELL ON YOU BY MALETA COMPANY (IRELAND)
Nun's Island Theatre | 24th May, 20:00, Admission/tickets on the door: €8
Put a Spell on You is an experiment, a ritual, one juggler, one musician, four microphones, one loop station and one goal; "Make your own magic" two hunters set up camp; the ceremony begins. Alex and Moises will meet for the week to research and present the results of their third creation residency project Put a Spell on You.
BIG JELLY (IRELAND)
The Galway Rowing Club | 24th May, 22:00, FREE
Get to the roots of Ska and Rock Steady music with Galway outfit Big Jelly. Formed in the summer of 2014 by several members from well known local acts The Timbertramps, My Fellow Sponges and Mikey and the Scallywags, their aim was simple: Get the audience on the dancefloor.
In addition to the above, another call was held for an Artists in Residence programme in partnership with Áras Eanna Arts Centre, Inis Oirr.
The selected artists are the artists jugglers KATE BOSCHETTI AND LIAM WILSON (ITALY / SCOTLAND).
Kate and Liam—artists in residence with Áras Éanna Arts Centre—will live and immerse themselves entirely on the island for the month of May, creating a site responsive, fresh piece of work for and with the island and its people. Enjoy their first showing of this work-in-progress, which continues to explore the themes of place and identity.


The Program is provided to give an indication of what event are on when and where. Entrants in order to get the most from their Powercruise experience should read this program thoroughly as being in the right place at the right time will gain you more cruising time and have you ready for the events when they come up.
in the case of a rainy day, we will endeavour to keep to the program as much as possible however if its raining heavily, we will stop all track activities and wait for the rain to finish. If the rain is falling lightly, we will either put cruise cars on the track to dry out the track or we'll send out the drifters as it always seems everyone has an extra 100hp when the roads are wet and its is certainly entertaining to watch them keep it on the bitumen.
