Stormont First Minister Michelle O’Neill says she has contacted PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher after allegations that police officers advised nurses to show identification to masked men during Belfast riots. The reports describe a claim that, amid unrest, nurses were told to display ID to individuals wearing masks, and that this issue needs investigation. O’Neill is urging a police probe into the allegation, while the PSNI is described as looking into the matter. The outlets agree on the central points: O’Neill raises the concern publicly, she contacts the PSNI chief constable directly, and the matter is framed as requiring examination to establish what happened and whether any officer guidance or instructions were given. The reports do not provide further confirmed details about the circumstances, the identities of those involved, or the outcomes of any investigation at this stage.
