The iconic Hill 16 in Croke Park could be converted to seats if fighting in the terraced stand continues.

Video footage emerged over the weekend of an altercation between Armagh and Monaghan fans, during the All-Ireland football quarter final clash between the two teams.

The footage has been condemned by the GAA, which says it represents "unacceptable behaviour from a small number of supporters".

The GAA's Director of Communications, Alan Milton, says the organisation can't turn a blind eye:

"At a time when, ironically, including soccer stadiums in Britain are bringing safe standing back in, I think if this was to continue and I certainly hope it doesn't, you'd have to look at whether there's a need to put seats on Hill 16."

"I don't think anyone would be in favour of that and hopefully to that end, people will behave themselves".
