The NI Executive met on Thursday morning for an emergency meeting following rioting in Belfast.
On Wednesday night a hijacked bus was set alight at the junction of Lanark Way and the Shankill Road following a protest, with crowds gathering there and at West Circular Road at its junction with the Springfield Road.
A number of tyres and bins were set on fire near the interface gates which were later set alight. Police were also attacked with petrol bombs and other objects being thrown over the peace wall and a car reportedly rammed the interface gates.
