Campaign against workplace racism launches today

Minister for Integration Conor Lenihan launches a week of events to tackle inequality in Ireland today.

Employers across the state have been sent campaign packs and have been asked to join in this year's Anti-Racist Workplace Week.

The initiative seeks to promote and achieve equality of opportunity in an increasingly culturally diverse workplace.

Dr Angela Kerins, chairwoman of the Equality Authority and Bob Collins, chief commissioner, Equality Commission for Northern Ireland, will also speak at the launch at The Equality Authority's headquarters in Dublin.
