THE PSNI are investigating an incident that took place during a trip to the U.S. by Armagh’s All-Ireland winning footballers.
Last month, members from the team along with wives and girlfriends travelled to Miami to celebrate their second All-Ireland success.
Speaking in County Cavan on Monday at a cross border policing conference, PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher said: “There is nothing I can really say about this incident. That is something that we would be working with other jurisdictions if they approach us. I want to be really careful.
“I think we’ve all got to be really responsible about what we’re saying about this incident at the moment and just make sure that we’re allowed to get on with working with other organisations, and we’re very mindful about what we say in the public domain.”
He added: “So we would wait to be approached by another jurisdiction for any help that we can offer them. I’m not going to talk about this particular incident and what has happened with regards to that. Let’s just get on with doing what we do. I know there’s a huge amount of reporting on social media.
“I’d really ask people to stop speculating about this incident out of respect, actually for anybody who may have made any allegation. Let’s just due process take its place.”
A spokesperson for the PSNI said: “A report was made to the Police Service of Northern Ireland regarding an incident which is believed to have occurred in the United States in November. Enquiries are currently being carried out and no further details are available at present.”
