Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement
EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement: Discussion
Ms Sin?ad Gibney:
Yes. We have done a lot of work on dialogue and on trying to counteract what we see as increasing far-right rhetoric happening that, as the Chairman said, fuels this kind of negative response, but the State has an obligation there. It must deal with that and must deal with the promotion of anti-racism, not just dealing with racism when it happens but helping people understand that, as an increasingly diverse society, it is our obligation as a society and the State's obligation to support that.
