From the Irish Times of November 9th, 1901 -

We regret to have to report the death from consumption, in Steevens' Hospital on 23rd ult., Constable John M'Goldrick of Enfield in Meath. For some months past he had been temporarily attached to the Depot for medical treatment, but his fatal illness defied all medical skill. On 25th ult. the remains were removed from Steevens' Hospital to the Church of the Holy Trinity, Aughrim street, and a funeral party, consisting of Head Constable Dirrane, Sergeants Corr, Casey, Walsh, Stokes, Smyth and Baird, and 40 constables, under the command of District Inspector F.C. Burke, and accompanied by the band of the force, followed the remains from Aughrim street Church to Glasnevin Cemetery.

From the Irish Times of 27th January 1900 -

We regret to record the death at Steevens' Hospital on the 19th inst. of Constable J. Fleming, No. 1 Company, a fine young fellow who left his home for the ranks of the R.I.C. but a few months ago, only to contract an illness to which we grieve he has succumbed. His remains were conveyed from the Hospital on Monday to James's street Chapel, and from thence to Glasnevin Cemetery for internment. The funeral party which consisted of Head Constable Fegan, Sergeants D. Sullivan, J. Drohan, R. O'Brien, J. Sheridan, Acting Sergeants P. Dolan, A. Ewing and about 40 constables, headed by the band, in two ranks, was under the command of District Inspector A.G.W. Harrell

Inspector-General

From the Irish Times of 22nd September 1900 -

With the deepest regret we announce the death of Sergeant William Hogan, of the County Roscommon force, which occurred on Saturday 15th instant, in Steevens' Hospital, in which he had been but a few days for medical treatment. About a fortnight ago a gastric inflammation, caused, it is said, by the use of unripe fruit, set in, and notwithstanding all that medical skill both in the country and in Steevens' Hospital could accomplish he grew gradually worse until Saturday evening, when he breathed his last. He had almost 26 years service in the Royal Irish Constabulary, and leaves behind him a wife and nine children to mourn his sad demise. On Monday the remains were removed from Steevens' Hospital to the Roman Catholic Church, Aughrim street, where a Requiem Mass was offered up for the soul of the deceased. They were subsequently taken to Glasnevin for internment in the Royal Irish Constabulary burial ground in that cemetery. A funeral party, consisting of District Inspector Lowndes (in command), Head Constable Fry, Sergeants Whiteside, Sullivan, Caddan, Farrell, Acting Sergeants Peacock, Barrett and Cormack, and 50 reserve constables, and accompanied by the band, under the charge of Sergeant Kinsley, followed the remains to the grave. The most heartfelt sympathy is felt for the widow and children of the deceased in their great loss and affliction. He was a most respectable man, faithful, upright, and honest in all his actions, and truly and sincerely respected by all who knew him.
