  Royal Irish Constabulary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) was one of Ireland's two police forces in the early twentieth century, alongside the Dublin Metropolitan Police.
The Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) presided over a marked decline in crime in the country with the rural unrest of the early nineteenth century (characterised by secret organizations and crimes such as unlawful armed assembly) being replaced by relative misdemeanors such as public drunkenness and minor property crimes.
In December 1920 the Government of Ireland Act partitioned the country and in July 1921 a truce was agreed.

The Irish Militia ~1775-1822; numerous units of militia were locally raised in rural towns to augment and gradually replace the garrisoned regiments of regular army.
The force was authorised to act in conjunction with the Gárda Síochána outside the metropolis in 1924, and formally amalgamated with the Gárda Síochána in 1925.

On 5th August 1822 the Constabulary Act was passed and a new force called the Constabulary Police was formed.
This Act (which repealed the earlier Acts) increased the number of higher ranks in the force (see appendix 2) and consolidated the scattered elements of the four provinces into a uniform centralized force under the control of a single inspector-general, who resided in Dublin.
The constabulary in Ireland served as a model for the establishment of a policing system in the rest of the British Isles, and ultimately even further afield in the developing colonies of the Empire.

Thus, in the 1820s and 1830s police reform in New South Wales was a compromise between the English and Irish models, modified to meet the exigencies of a large convict population, the escapades of bushrangers, the resistance of the Aborigines, and a growing urban population.
Whether policemen acted with propriety depended on the quality of the men appointed to the police, but, as the next section demonstrates, they were generally not of high quality and the low pay was a disincentive to join.

An Act of Parliament in the early part of the nineteenth century required that the tithe be paid in money rather than in kind (as had previously been the case), therefore a tithe applotment survey was carried out in each civil parish to determine the value of tithe payable by landholders.
This was the earliest surviving land survey of the nineteenth century, and owes its present significance to the fact that no census material survives for that period.

ACT believes that hunting and shooting are an integral part of the New Zealand way of life and that this needs urgent protection from intrusive government and its multiple agencies
ACT's support for the rights of firearm owners and hunters is thus a matter of deeply held principle and not dependent on uneasy compromise or political horse trading.
