Justice Minister Helen McEntee has said she has no plans to reschedule the highly controversial Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) commemoration event axed one year ago this week.

The controversy, which had a devastating impact on Fine Gael’s general election campaign, occurred when Ms McEntee’s predecessor Charlie Flanagan proposed an event, without securing Cabinet approval.
