Is Wexford safe for women?

I have never been present when anything bad has happened to anyone and from my personal opinion I haven't had anyone close to me be attacked or tell me anything of the like. I start work at 6 am most mornings and feel perfectly safe walking to work. I have often been on a night out and walked 15/20 mins home alone just fine 😊

It's standard, if you stick to the right areas and make sensible decisions you should be fine. The public transport is learning existent and therefore not much of a cause for concern. Ireland has a negative culture around women particularly in nightclubs and therefore in those situations some catcalling/groping/pressuring I'd to be expected.
