Police investigate footage after Armagh’s All-Ireland win
The police say they have launched an internal investigation into video footage of officers taking part in celebrations following Armagh’s All-Ireland victory over Galway on Sunday.
The videos circulated online appears to show officers in police vehicles waving flags and sounding their sirens.
The GAA team won the coveted Sam Maguire cup with a score of 1-11 against Galway’s 0-13.
Superintendent Norman Haslett said: “We are aware of footage circulating on social media of our officers, driving Police Service of Northern Ireland vehicles, taking part in celebrations following Armagh winning the All-Ireland final.
“We have commenced an internal investigation into the circumstances surrounding this,” he added.
TUV leader Jim Allister said he would be contacting the police ombudsman and the chief constable following a “disgraceful display by officers in a marked PSNI car tonight in Camlough”.
“They can be seen driving through the village waving GAA flags in a fashion which could best be described as joyriding while using the siren improperly.
“Loyalists are often challenged about why we talk about two tier policing. Tonight we see evidence of this in bright lights.”
