Internal investigation underway after PSNI vehicle joins in All-Ireland victory celebrations
TUV leader Jim Allister says he'll be contacting the police watchdog and the Chief Constable
Police say an internal investigation is underway into footage of a PSNI vehicle taking part in celebrations in Camlough after Armagh’s victory over Galway in the All-Ireland final.
In the footage which has been circulating online, a police car with blue lights and sirens turned on is seen circling a roundabout, before an Armagh flag is waved out the window.
District Commander for Newry, Mourne and Down, 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."
TUV leader Jim Allister says he'll be contacting the police watchdog and the Chief Constable.
The North Antrim MP said, “Loyalists are often challenged about why we talk about two tier policing. Tonight we see evidence of this in bright lights.”
“Independent policing has gone out the window and the PSNI has destroyed any pretence of being a balanced force.”
