flag Seven of 18 Irish government departments missed anti-racism reporting deadlines, exposing systemic racism and weak enforcement of national anti-racism efforts.

flag A new report by Ireland’s special rapporteur on racial equality, Dr. Ebun Joseph, reveals that seven of 18 government departments failed to submit required anti-racism monitoring reports, undermining the national action plan’s whole-of-government approach. flag The findings highlight persistent structural racism affecting employment and education, outdated hate speech laws, insufficient data on race, and rising anti-migrant sentiment fueled by far-right rhetoric, attacks on asylum seeker accommodations, and increased deportations. flag The report calls for mandatory anti-racism training, annual reporting, stronger leadership, and full government commitment to drive transformative change beyond procedural compliance.
