GAA Discussion / GAA player arrested
December 01, 2006, 02:00:10 PM
A well known gaelic footballer has been arrested during a police operation at his home in south Armagh.
The family of Jonathan Hanratty, who plays for Crossmaglen Rangers, said officers entered their home and arrested him and his father on Friday.

Local Sinn Fein councillor Terry Hearty said police behaved "disgracefully".

A PSNI spokesman said one person in his 40s and another in his late teens were arrested. He said any complaint should be directed to the Police Ombudsman.

Mr Hanratty is part of the Crossmaglen Rangers squad - the dominant club in Armagh senior club gaelic football, having won 11 titles in a row.

They will take on Ballinderry in the Ulster senior club championship final at Casement Park in Belfast on Sunday.

The winners will go on to contest the All-Ireland club semi-finals next year.
