Treatment of Muslims in Ireland a ‘worry’, says European report

A European report on Islamophobia has referred to “worrying developments” in the treatment and perception of Muslims in Ireland.

The Irish chapter of the new European Islamophobia Report 2016 also criticises media coverage of events involving Muslims.

The Irish chapter of the report was written by James Carr, lecturer in sociology at the University of Limerick, who cited the lack of hate-crime legislation and the potential for exclusion of Muslims within the Irish education system.
