GAA asked to consider banning PSNI adverts in match-day programmes

Concerns have emerged following discussions at a recent GAA central council meeting regarding the inclusion of Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) advertisements in match day programmes. The debate pivots around the unresolved investigation into the 1997 murder of Sean Brown, a former club chairman who was killed by loyalists. Members are questioning whether it aligns with GAA values to promote the police amidst ongoing grief and controversy related to Brown's death.

"The issue surrounding the 1997 murder of Sean Brown raises deep concerns about the appropriateness of promoting the PSNI in GAA match day programmes while justice remains unresolved."

"During the recent GAA central council meeting, questions were posed about the ethics of allowing PSNI advertisements in light of ongoing discussions about Sean Brown's tragic death by loyalists."
