Notes:
- Figures recorded at 01 April of each year so data for 1992 is captured in the 1993 data.
- By April 2007 all part time personnel had been phased out.
- Figures have been rounded to 10.
- Figures are absolute.
- Figures may not match UK Data Service (UKDS), which is an archived statistical publication preserved on the National Archives web archive and is not revised when data quality improvements are made to the underlying data. Therefore, there may be small differences between the historic Royal Irish (Home Service) figures published in the UKDS archive and those provided in this response.
