What happens in the City has never affected us more In this excellent guide, now fully revised and updated, leading financial journalist Philip Coggan cuts through the headlines, the scandals and the jargon to explain the nuts and bolts of the financial system. What causes the pound to rise or interest rates to fall? Which are the institutions that really matter? Why is it we need the Money Machine – and what happens when it crashes? Coggan provides clear and concise answers and shows why we should all be more familiar with a system we so intimately depend upon.
Covers the history of policing in Ireland, how the system worked, the establishment of the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC), the types of men in the Force, their backgrounds and lifestyles, the final years of the RIC, how to trace ancestors in the RIC, and a case history of a constable. This is followed by appendices which explain the RIC lists as a genealogical source. Includes a list of medal recipients and casualties.
