🇮🇪 Ireland knows what it means to leave. But belonging means being safe, too. As racism rises, communities rise louder — marching, organising, refusing hate. INAR logs every racist incident to protect and amplify. 📢 Report. Resist. Reclaim safety. 🔗 www.ireport.ie #NoToRacism #IrelandForAll

Ireland’s housing crisis isn’t just about affordability. It’s about who is allowed to belong—and who’s being pushed out. Over 7,000 refugees have been evicted from IPAS accommodation in just 18 months. In Dublin, 1 in 4 new single homeless cases now comes directly from these evictions.

⏰ Just over two weeks ago, the EU gave Ireland 2 months to criminalise extreme hate speech — 17 years after agreeing to do so. #EndHateSpeech #EUJustice

Clock's Ticking: EU Demands Action on Anti-Racism Law - what does this mean?

The European Commission says Ireland is failing to comply with EU laws on extreme hate speech and race-based violence. Under EU law, extreme hate speech must be criminalised. Ireland hasn't done this-despite agreeing in 2008.

Ireland's current law, the prohibition of Incitement to Hatred Act (1989) - is outdated and ineffective. Only 5 convictions in nearly 30 years. No law specifically criminalises extreme hate speech.

Extreme hate speech and incitement to hatred fuel racism, xenophobia, and violence. Without strong laws, minority voices are silenced and vulnerable - including those from racialised, migrant, religious, LGBTQplus, and traveller communities.

Irish Council for Civil Liberties 🏳️‍🌈 @iccl.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

ICCL welcomes today’s publication of @inarireland.bsky.social's report on racial profiling and discrimination by An Garda Síochána. Read our full statement below.

The Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL) welcomes today’s publication of the Irish Network Against Racism (INAR)’s report on policing and racial discrimination. Commissioned by the Policing Authority, the new study, entitled “Still Not Heard, Still Not Safe”, reveals that people of African descent and Brazilians in Ireland continue to experience racial profiling and discriminatory policing, and have a deep lack of trust in An Garda Síochána.

The findings of this report build on similar findings from previous reports, including a joint report published by ICCL and INAR in 2024, "Policing and Racial Discrimination in Ireland: A Community and Rights Perspective". In recent years, international and regional monitoring bodies, the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission and civil society organisations have all voiced concerns about the inadequate response to racial profiling in Ireland.

While the report documents some positive individual experiences of policing, participants reported a wide range of negative experiences, including the use of stop and search powers, property damage and wrongful arrests, with long-lasting effects and a wider ripple effect of fear, anxiety and uncertainty amongst racialised communities.

Only 19% of 172 people surveyed believe they would be treated fairly if they made a complaint against the Gardaí. Individuals also reported being deterred from reporting crimes, as the Garda response is perceived to be unhelpful and, in some cases, harmful to victims.

Racial profiling is a violation of human rights and An Garda Síochána has a legal obligation (under the public sector duty) to identify and combat all forms of discrimination. Among other measures, INAR is calling for a legal ban on racial profiling, improved oversight of racial profiling complaints and statutory disaggregated data collection. ICCL fully endorses these recommendations.

As the new oversight structure under the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024 comes into effect this week, it is crucial that the Policing and Community Safety Authority and Fiosrú (the Office of the Police Ombudsman) scrutinise An Garda Síochána’s commitment to human rights-based policing.
