PSNI and garda GAA teams to visit Áras

GAA teams from An Garda Síochána and the PSNI will today pay their first joint visit to President Mary McAleese at Áras an Úachtaráin.

The engagement takes place just days before Saturday’s first rugby international between Ireland and England at GAA’s Croke Park headquarters.

The PSNI set up a Gaelic football team soon after the GAA lifted its Rule 21ban on members of the British security forces playing Gaelic games in 2001.
