Organised policing in Ireland can be traced back to the establishment of the County Constabulary in 1822.
In 1836 the Irish Constabulary (later to be known as the Royal Irish Constabulary) and the Dublin Metropolitan Police were established to replace the County Constabulary.
1922 saw the disbandment of The Royal Irish Constabulary on the birth of the new Irish Free State, as this country was then called.
The Garda Síochána was formed.
The Dublin Metropolitan Police was amalgamated with the Garda Síochána in 1925 and today the Garda Síochána (meaning in English: "The Guardians of the Peace") is the national police service.

Visit Instructions:
To log a visit, you must post a photo of you in front of the building described, with your GPS in the photo. No drive by photos.
I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
