As the Deputy will be aware, my predecessor as Minister decided to defer the event which had been scheduled to take place earlier this year to mark the role in Irish history of the Dublin Metropolitan Police and Royal Irish Constabulary pending further consultation, including with the Expert Advisory Group on Centenary Commemorations, the All-Party Consultation Group on Commemorations and with other stakeholders.
My Department is still considering how best to mark the elements of Phase II of the Decade of Centenaries programme which fall within the Justice sector.
