Mr Harris's absence from the Remembrance Day event due to the lack of Northern Ireland Executive representation breaks a significant tradition upheld since 2012.
The decision not to attend was based on official advice, as attendance usually correlates with the presence of Northern Ireland Executive members.
Enda Kenny's attendance initiated a tradition of recognition for those in the Republic of Ireland who served in the British Army during WWI.
The absence was met with criticism from the South East Fermanagh Foundation, emphasizing the need for the Taoiseach to engage with victims' families.
