The Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) has launched an investigation into a video on social media.
It appears to show a confrontation between gardaí and protesters at a property auction in Gorey, Co Wexford yesterday.
In a statement, GSOC says it is of the opinion that the public interest is best served by an independent investigation of the matter.
