Around two hundred former RIC men ended up working for the new British mandate in Palestine after the force was disbanded in 1922, according to a new documentary made by RTÉ’s Tony Connelly.

Another 1300 men from the Royal Irish Constabulary moved north and joined the newly formed Royal Ulster Constabulary, including Connelly’s grandfather Michael, who was a native of East Galway.
