Travellers and immigrants face discrimination

Ireland discriminates massively against the Traveller community, according to a report on equality in the workplace.

And even though immigration is relatively new to the country, there are signs that minorities from other countries also face discrimination, according to the study.

The report, by the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia, says discrimination and racism are rife across Europe and are preventing people from getting jobs and progressing in them once they have found work.
