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

1:20 pm

Ms Carole Brennan:

A taxi driver recently told me a story about something that happened to him. He said he was not going to go to the police because they were not going to take it seriously as there are no laws. Deputy Seán Kenny is right, and I agree with him that Irish society has become more open. I am amazed at how cosmopolitan and wonderful Dublin city is. It is a beautiful city and it is wonderful to see so many different races. I am concerned and curious about how, if someone is subjected to racism, the matter would be dealt with in law.
