The government has decided to defer the controversial commemoration of the RIC.
In a statement this evening, Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan says it is a result of the disappointing response to the proposed event in Dublin Castle later this month.
He says he hopes to have an alternative commemoration in the months ahead.
