Sabina Higgins: We must reject the politics of hate

Sabina Higgins has called for the rejection of “poisonous ideologies” and the “politics of hate”.

In a speech marking Roma Holocaust Memorial Day in which the President’s wife at times became emotional, she also spoke about the need to integrate our children to help prevent the spread of “anti-immigrant narratives”.

“The politics of hate, fear and otherness must be rejected and in its place, we must strive for inclusion, mutual respect and ethics,” said Mrs Higgins.
