The government has deferred a planned commemoration of the Royal Irish Constabulary.
The event was due to take place at Dublin Castle on January 17th.
However, it will no longer be going ahead.
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 event arranged in the months ahead.
Minister Flanagan says "I commit to proceeding with an alternative commemoration in the months ahead.
As a next step, I will consult further with the expert Advisory Group on Centenary Commemoration, with the all-party consultative group on commemoration and with other stakeholders, with a view to organising an event that is inclusive and fully respectful of all the traditions and memories on this island."
