RACISM AND ANTI-IMMIGRANT sentiment is a serious issue in Ireland today – over the weekend, a racially-motivated attack in Dublin was the latest iteration of the problem.

In recent years, protests against immigration and asylum seeker accommodation have become more commonplace, while there increasing reports of racism and discrimination on the street.

In 2023, the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission found that more than one in four people who are not of white, Irish ethnicity experienced racism in the previous 12 months.
