I have indexed a list of over 1,500 members of the Royal Irish Constabulary who received various awards between 1870-75 and 1880-85. The information includes the constable's name, date of award, amount/nature of award and reason for award. The information is unlikely to substantially enhance what you already know about your ancestor but does serve to colour what you have learned e.g. details of bravery/diligence, names of colleagues, etc.
If you would like me to search for an ancestor who was a member of the force between 1870 and 1885 you should forward his name to celtichistories@ireland.com
There is no fee for this service
