Staying in Dublin, he drove in state through the city in an open carriage[2] as well as attending a number of official ceremonies to celebrate his recent coronation.

[3] Following the precedent created by Queen Victoria's and Edward VII's Visit to Ireland Medals, a medal was awarded to those members of the Royal Irish Constabulary and the Dublin Metropolitan Police who were on duty at engagements during King George's visit.

[3] Additionally, members of the Civil Service Staffs of both Police Forces who were on duty at Dublin Castle during the visit received the medal, as did some members of the Dublin St Johns Ambulance Brigade, the Kingstown Harbour Police and the local Parks Constabularies.

[5] The medal is silver for all ranks, 1.4 inches (36 mm) in diameter with a ring suspension for the ribbon.

It follows the design of the King George V Police Coronation Medal, save for the inscription on the reverse and the ribbon.
