Irish newspapers show various references to a Constable Owen Heavey which might be of interest. Do his service records give an indication of postings/dates?

Eugene and Owen are interchangeable so he could be Owen Heavey-

Unless a link to previous details are posted we have no way of knowing such details have already been found.

He was born in Ahabeg, Lixnaw, Kerry in 1864. His full name was John Michael Quilter. I had access to a record( internet) which shows him to be a sergeant. The rest on the record were constables. He was given a service medal in 1903. In the 1911 census he was living in Glen, Ballybricken Limerick (aged 47). Type J and Q TO BRING UP THE RECORD.

Owen Heavey 35351 was born circa 1848 in Galway (East), near Lotrd Dunsandles estate (who recommended him for the RIC).  He retired as a Head Constable on 19 March 1901, and died 22 Nov 1915 - his widow was Emma Heavey who was American by birth.
Owen served in a number of counties including the Reserve (at Dublin).

Yes they should have been mentioned or people end up reinventing the wheel!

I just googled "Constable Owen Heavey"   and found that then posted a link to it to stop others  wasting time looking       for what has already been found!

To be fair the thread was meant to be about the Kelly's, it was me who dragged the Heavey's into it.
It was just meant to be a passing observation for when the OP was looking at the father.

That's interesting that Owen and Eugene are interchangeable. My husband has always wondered. I do hope this turns out to be him! My apologies Sean I did mention the forum in an earlier post and it was info on the site from both yourself and others which helped confirm my ideas. No offence was intended. Thank you for the news references to Bessie. I am on hubby's laptop as mine has crashed with Owen's records on it so will download again and check. I think Peter on RIC forum equated head constable to an inspector so I can see why he might have appeared so frequently.  John Michael Quilter is definitely Bessie's brother. Will now track both Emma and Owen as well as the Kelly leads, as I am now even more certain it is him. Thank you for all your help everyone and I apologise for any inconvenience I may have caused.
