The Royal Irish Constabulary Forum

This community exists to help relatives or interested persons in research relating to old Irish police forces which existed prior to 1922. Its primary theme revolves around the Royal Irish Constabulary, in which many thousands of Irishmen served.

We do not do lookups but aim to provide you with the tools and advice to undertake your own research. We would welcome photographs, family reminiscences and discussions. If your ancestor received any medals during his police service, please let us know.

Please note - to prevent spammers and undesirable postings, you will need to be approved by the administrator before being able to post on this board. See FAQ's (How To Make Your First Post) if it is your first time on Yuku or this forum
