Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Experience of Persons of Mixed Race in State Institutions: Mixed Race Irish

1:00 pm

Ms Carole Brennan:

Deputy Corcoran Kennedy's question is a good one, and we are often asked for comparisons. We are keen not to try to compare what we went through to what our peers went through. We do not believe that our pain is more or less than theirs, but it is specific. Racism in and of itself causes many psychological issues, which are far-reaching. That is all I would like to say on that.
