Riots broke out following anti-immigration protests in the city
Politicians from across the political spectrum have united in condemnation of the violence which broke out in Belfast on Saturday.
"There can be no place in our community for hate: for xenophobia, racism and Islamophobia. Neither can there be any place for such intimidation and intolerance. My thoughts are with all those impacted by this disorder; those whose property was damaged, businesses attacked and who were intimidated, threatened or fearful as a result.
SDLP South Belfast MLA Matthew O'Toole said the rioting will not change the positive, welcoming spirit that defines South Belfast. "I will be engaging further with affected businesses, community leaders and the police. The policing response must be robust and the political response united."
