Cllr John Sheehan is among several politicians including all Dublin City Councillors who are boycotting the event on Friday week.
In recent days several politicians have voiced their objections to it, with many pointing to the organisations' involvement with the 'Black and Tans".
The Justice Minister's insisting the commemoration isn't a celebration.
Independent councillor Nial Ring, who was one of a number to put forward last night's motion at Dublin City Council and hesays the event shouldn't go ahead:
