Ireland: Racism and Poverty

Published by:

A new report in Ireland shows that Rroma are often affected by racism and are more prone to poverty. The survey was conducted by Rroma activists and covered 30 households, i.e. a rather small number.
Irish Integration minister, David Stanton, meanwhile said that Rroma must be integrated.
Good!

Ireland: Garda members arrested over role in Rroma children case

Published by:

In 2013, Garda members took away children from Rroma families based solely on their appearance (i.e. they were not dark), as there was deemed to be a fair incertitude as to whether the children were really with their parents. A senior Garda member is now in custody following leaks to the press regarding this case. Highly unusual!
