Loyalists are planning a series of "ghost" protest parades in the coming days as tensions over the Northern Ireland Protocol continue to simmer.
It is understood a series of sporadic parades are being planned as part of a strategy to stretch PSNI resources.
In recent weeks un-notified parades have been held in several districts by loyalists angry at the Northern Ireland Protocol.
There is also discontent over how last year's Bobby Storey funeral was handled and claims of two-tier policing.
At the weekend trouble flared after an un-notified loyalist protest parade in Moygashel, near Dungannon, in Co Tyrone.
To date most protest parades have been prearranged and advertised widely over social media.
Sources say more protests are now being planned including the use of what have been described as "ghost parades", which will be locally organised with little prior notice.
Meanwhile loyalists in Co Down have challenged a PSNI claim that warnings were issued during an un-notified parade in Newtownards last week.
Several hundred people took part in parades in Bangor and Newtownards on Monday.
Police later said "warnings were given to participants" and that "an evidence-gathering operation was in place".
Claims that warnings were given at the Newtownards parade has now been disputed by prominent north Down loyalist Jamie Bryson.
Mr Bryson repeated that the "parade was well handled by the police" but insisted there was "no signage, TSG units or loud hailer warnings as there appears to be in other parades around the country".
Meanwhile, a new loyalist group is set to be launched in the coming days.
'Lets Talk Loyalism' says it is an "advocacy group which aims to "articulate loyalist perspectives and initiate positive change within the loyalist community".
Mr Bryson said the new initiative is "a collective platform to encourage more loyalist voices".
