'Let me be crystal clear, no one is being suspended or dismissed'
The PSNI Chief Constable has issued a statement after on-duty police officers were involved in celebrations after Armagh's All-Ireland victory.
"I am very alive to the polarised commentary which has taken place since the footage came to light which again demonstrates that policing in Northern Ireland remains a lightning rod for societal views. "Then, later that evening, police vehicles were seen being driven in Camlough in manner which was irresponsible. I, of course, understand the sentiment of what those police officers were seeking to do in supporting the local community in Armagh’s brilliant win. But there are many other ways to show that support, driving in that manner is not one of them."
