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.

'Disgraceful display'
“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."

  1. How depressing that relatively harmless, jovial, community policing is seen to be PSNIRA agenda.

    But then again, Jim Allister, Bryson et al. really do struggle with anything else.

    Pity they’re awarded such a platform, but always will be when the asswipe that is Nolan sees job security and a hefty pay package from the cunts.

  2. Only came on Reddit to see if anyone had posted this, I couldn’t believe what I was reading on the news. Absolute shambles, just let people enjoy themselves, not everything has to be miserable and grim

  3. Bryson is a fucking wee tout. Carla Lockhart too. Pair of craic-vacuums the two of them.

  5. I won’t lie I literally thought this was satire. What exactly are they investigating? I’m confused as to why this is an issue.
