Protests involving hundreds of people have taken place at Belfast city hall.
On Sunday afternoon two protests took place, one anti-immigration protest and the other, a counter protest against racism.
The smaller group were those protesting what they called “mass migration”.
The larger group consisted of trade unions, Amnesty International and local political and community groups. They told the crowd that 112 groups were taking part in their demonstrations. They had flags saying “refugees welcome”.
Traffic around the city centre was disrupted for a time during the rallies.
There was a sizeable police presence with many uniformed officers and land rovers parked in front of the city hall.
There were some flags being flown, including a Union flag, an Irish tricolour and a flag depicting the provinces of Ireland.
