Dublin Police - all DMP or possibly RIC?

As I was typing that out I spotted that many of the locations are now active Garda stations... or at least on the same streets. I'm not sure where the actual service records ended up - possibly the National Archive either here or in Kew ? If anything else was preserved I'd say it was kept with those..

The general Herlihy books (i.e. not the index ones) are definitely worth a read for further information on the DMP and RIC and the stations.

Try the Garda Museum in Dublin Castle, link below. You can write to them but I find it much quicker to visit if you are able.

Thanks for the link IrishMedals.

I will certainly try to get to the museum on my next trip.  Oddly, I went there a few years ago just to look around the castle buildings but did not know about the police connection at that time and didn't spot that the Garda Museum was there.

Before I go there, I think maybe I ought to check out whether William and Michael were possibly ever in the police too.

Makes me wonder if other O'Malley police were related too - perhaps cousins?
