Royal Irish Constabulary
« on: Wednesday 20 January 10 19:45 GMT (UK) »
Is it true that members of the RIC were not allowed to serve in their county of origin/birth?

Many thanks!

Nor were they allowed to serve in a County where any other close relatives lived such as Grandfather/Grandmother,Uncles/Aunties.
