Peace Preservation Force, established by
Peel in 1814 to counter widespread rural unrest. These first ‘peelers’ were appointed by the government and, under the command of a stipendiary magistrate (forerunner of the later
resident magistrate or RM), they could be dispatched to any district proclaimed as disturbed. The local ratepayers had to pay for the force whether they had requested its presence or not. This made the peelers extremely unpopular with landlords. They were deployed in sixteen counties up to 1822, but did not have a major impact on agrarian crime. When a national constabulary was created in 1822 (see
police), many peelers joined the new force. But the Peace Preservation Force was revived in 1831 during the
Tithe War and dispatched to the ten most disturbed counties. In 1836 it was amalgamated with the reorganized Irish Constabulary.
