Justice Minister: Any Future RIC Commemoration Has To Be Inclusive And Respectful Of All Traditions
Charlie Flanagan yesterday announced the event, planned for Dublin Castle later this month, was being deferred.
It followed days of controversy that it was taking place, given the RIC's links to the 'Black and Tans' during the War of Independence.
Both the Lord Mayor of Cork City and Mayor of the County have said they will not be attending the event.
Minister Flanagan says he hopes agreement can be reached with all interested parties so a future commemoration goes ahead:
