Midlands TD Calls For Garda Investigation Into "Violent Confrontation" At Croke Park

A brawl broke out at an All-Ireland Senior Football Quarter-Final at the weekend.

A former justice minister is calling for gardaí to investigate the brawl that broke out at the All-Ireland Senior Football Quarter-Final in Croke Park yesterday.

Charlie Flanagan has described the incident involving players and backroom staff from Galway and Armagh as a "violent confrontation".

Galway player Damien Comer's eye was apparently gouged during the encounter by a member of the Armagh panel.

The Laois-Offaly Fine Gael TD says while he expects some in RTÉ and the GAA to reduce the incident to "handbags", but feels gardaí should investigate.

An investigation into a brawl is set to be launched by the GAA.

It will be among a number of other incidents set to be investigated by the GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee today.
