Royal Irish Constabulatory

[terry foley]

My grandfather was a member of the Royal Irish Constabulatory. I have no dates or places. From what I can<br>gather they were not the most well thought of individuals. If anyone has any information on what they where,<br>what they did, how they operated and all that other stuff could you please let me know. If there is a place where<br>I can write or e-mail for more information that would be a help too. From what I know they were a police force in<br>Ireland before Independence in 1922. (thanks to Ciaran Doherty for that info). If anyone can help I thank you<br>now for your help.<p>terry foley

He did have a daughter, Anita, and I believe she ran Juries Pub somewhere in Ireland. I'm curious if he's listed in the book you mentioned. <br>
