Chief Constable visits Ceannarás

Ulster GAA President Aogan Ó Fearghail and Provincial Director Danny Murphy recently welcomed PSNI Chief Constable Matt Baggott to a meeting in Ceannarás Uladh, the Headquarters of Ulster GAA in Armagh.

The Chief Constable and Ulster GAA leadership discussed a range of issues and the Chief Constable received a presentation on the progress of the GAA’s road safety programme “Live to Play”.

Ulster GAA President Aogan Ó Fearghail also presented the Chief Constable with a framed Ulster GAA Live to Play jersey. Commenting on the visit, Aogan Ó’Fearghail said “We are pleased to welcome the Chief Constable to Ceannarás Uladh and use the opportunity to exchange a range of views as well as brief him on the activities of Ulster GAA. The meeting was friendly and productive and we look forward to progressing our relationship with the PSNI.”

The Chief Constable said of the visit, “I was delighted for the opportunity to meet again with the Office of the Ulster Council in Armagh and discuss a number of issues on which the Gaelic Athletic Association and the Police Service of Northern Ireland have been cooperating, not least of which has been the hugely successful Live to Play programme.  We are fully committed to delivering personal, professional and protective policing to everyone and such engagement between police and community, through organisations such as the GAA, is at the very heart of that and makes a real difference”.
