'Everyone sells this image of a welcoming society' - Racism and international students in Ireland

Almost 40% of English-language students also reported that they had either seen racism or been victims of it here, with it happening on public transport, on campus, from neighbours, and sometimes from groups of youths. 

Many international students report experiencing racism while studying here, but lack trust in the authorities to report it, new research suggests.

Four out of 10 (40%) international higher education students taking part in a major study report experiencing racism here, either as a victim themselves or witnessing it.
