Mayor of Clare to boycott RIC commemoration

The commemoration is being held to remember members who served in the RIC and the Dublin Metropolitan Police prior to independence.

The Fianna Fáil Mayor of Clare is to boycott the forthcoming commemoration service for the Royal Irish Constabulary, describing the event as "historical revisionism gone too far".

It will take place in Dublin Castle. Both Mr Flanagan and Garda Commissioner Drew Harris are due to address the event. "In the main, I think all of the Government's State commemorations have been apt and tasteful, but I see the commemoration of the RIC as a step too far," he said.
