The government announced yesterday that an event at Dublin Castle to commemorate members of the Royal Irish Constabulary and Dublin Metropolitan Police prior to independence had been deferred.

In the wake of this controversy, how should we go about remembering our turbulent history?

Senator Mark Daly, one of the Fianna Fáil representatives of the All Party Consultation Group on the decade of commemorations, Dr Mary McAuliffe, historian and assistant professor of gender studies at UCD, and Mick Fealty of the Slugger O'Toole website joined us to discuss the issue.
