‘Arcane’ system hampering efforts to tackle discrimination, experts warn

Cases of racial discrimination, against colour, race, nationality, ethnic or being a member of the Traveller community, can be taken through the Workplace Relations Commission.

Attempts to address systemic inequality and racism in Ireland are being neglected by an “arcane” system, experts have warned.

They say people facing racial discrimination in work, education or when accessing healthcare and housing are failing to seek help because of huge barriers in getting information and guidance.
