'We are aware of it, we're still trying to understand who's behind it'
Police are working to establish if social media calls for anti-Islamic protests in Northern Ireland this weekend will materialise on the ground, the chief constable has said.
"There is obviously, from the social media calling, an intention to try and do something on Saturday."We're looking into the intelligence now to see who, if anybody, is actually involved and going to respond to this." "But if there is going to be any gatherings, we will police them and we will police them effectively."
