flag The EU urged Ireland to enact strong hate speech laws amid widespread discrimination and systemic racism.

flag The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance has urged Ireland to pass comprehensive hate speech laws, citing widespread discrimination against LGBTI+ people, migrants, Black/African communities, and Roma and Traveller populations. flag The report highlights declining mental health among LGBTI+ individuals, ongoing non-consensual medical procedures on intersex children, systemic racism in housing and education, and inadequate support for asylum seekers. flag Despite progress like a national anti-racism plan and a draft LGBTQI+ inclusion strategy, ECRI criticized insufficient funding for the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission, lack of hate crime data, and continued racial profiling by police. flag It recommended clear legal definitions of hate speech, effective sanctions, protection of intersex rights, safe housing for refugees, and stronger public leadership against discrimination.
