A petition signed by 50,000 people from across the world calling on the Government to cancel all RIC commemorations was handed in to the Department of Justice in Dublin today.
It managed to collect the signatures over the last six days and was organised by Ger Devereux and Brian Murphy.
It followed public uproar at the plans to commemorate the RIC of which its members included the Black and Tans.
Councillor Christy Burke joined organisers today to hand in the petition.
He told Dublin Live: "It's to shame the Government for attempting to plan these events.
"They should withdraw any such commemorations, and the petition was signed from people all over the world - from the US, to Sweden to Singapore.
"Myself, councillors Ring, Reilly and Perry joined petition organisers Ger Devereux and Brian Murphy to deliver it to the Minister.
"But he wasn't available, and we handed it into staff. We even made sure it was as environmentally friendly as possible and printed it double sided."
Irish rebel song "Come Out, Ye Black and Tans" shot to number one on the Irish iTunes singles chart earlier this week following public uproar over the plans.
The RIC was boycotted by the new Irish State in 1921 after it acted as the enforcement arm of the British Crown - along with the infamous Black and Tans - during the War of Independence.
And Leo Varadkar's Fine Gael came under huge criticism over the last week for their decision to hold the event, which would commemorate the RIC and the Dublin Metropolitan Police.
