Ferris calls for scrapping of GAA game

The organisers of a Gaelic football match between members of the Dáil and the Northern Ireland police today faced calls for it to be scrapped.

Sinn Fein’s Martin Ferris claimed the match involving Irish TDs and Senators should not go ahead in Dublin next Tuesday for a number of reasons including the alleged collusion of police in Northern Ireland in loyalist paramilitary killings.
