Eighteen people arrested in Belfast over the weekend appeared at the Magistrates' Court yesterday.
Most of the 14 men and four juveniles were remanded in custody on charges of riotous assembly, riotous behaviour, assaults on police, resisting arrest, criminal damage and possessing offensive weapons, including golf balls.
Magistrate Sarah Creanor said, in view of the continuing unrest, she would not consider granting bail except where a defendant had an alternative address outside Belfast.
One man was released after he said he could live in a caravan at Castlerock, Co Derry.
A solicitor for another man said his client was intoxicated, and was arrested in East Belfast after he stumbled out of a bar into a riot.
Two 14-year-old juveniles were dressed in police-issue boiler suits after their clothes had been taken away for forensic examination.
