I love this site and Peter Mulvaney who created it is a really helpful man who helped our family aquire two medals for relatives who served in the Emergency. The site is a great memorial to those who did not come back.

If any one is seeking information about the SS Isolda and its sinking I have quite a few accounts of the sinking and a lot of anecdotal information I would be happy to pass on.

Policehistory.com Website has lots of information if your ancester was in the Policeservice from the creation of the Police force to modern day mounted Police. The site even features it's own genealogy society dedicated to the subject.
http://www.policehistory.com

The History of the Irish Post Office, looks at the way post was being delivered in Ireland.  Find out about Donkey Post and the First Irish Stamp.

I might be wrong, but that site appears to be a normal commercial site and not "iIreland's National Police" web site

The Garda website is in fact http://www.garda.ie/

Moderator's Note: the earlier website has lots of details about Irish police history which might be of interest to anyone with police ancestors. Link taken from an old Resources post but I've changed the post to give a more accurate description
Grant in Tipperary
Piper in Tipperary
Blong in Leix
Watson in Offaly
Pugh in North Wales
Evans in North Wales
Proctor in Edinburgh
Steedman in Stirling

Hello,
Ive just found this site and noticed your post. It was written a long time ago and I hope you are still a member. My grandfather Patrick Shortt was the fireman who died on the SS Isolda which was sunk by the Luftwaffe in December 1940.
I would like to find out more about this and hope we could make contact.
