Law enforcement in Ireland This is a description of law enforcement in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Before the Republic (then called the Irish Free State) left the union, one police force - the Royal Irish Constabulary - policed almost the whole island (aside from Dublin, where the Dublin Metropolitan Police were the main force, Belfast where the Belfast Borough Police were the main force and the borough of Londonderry where the Londonderry Borough Police were the main force before merging with the RIC. See List of defunct law enforcement agencies in the United Kingdom and Irish Police records and also Royal Irish Constabulary Forum for other forces in Ireland that have been disbanded.).
