Loyalists were pictured holding an anti-Northern Ireland Protocol banner.
It comes after a break of around a week, following a succession of days where violence broke out following a number of loyalist protests across Northern Ireland.
The worst of the trouble came on both sides of the peace wall gates at Lanark Way on Wednesday April 7 and Thursday April 8 where police used plastic bullets and water cannon against the crowds.

Nationalists reject the contentions and insist their communities experience just as many problems with poverty.
