Unemployed, disabled and Travellers ‘more likely to experience discrimination’

Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth Roderic O’Gorman published a report about discrimination in Ireland (PA)

People who are unemployed, those with disabilities, non-Catholics, non-Irish and young adults had a higher likelihood of experiencing some form of discrimination in the previous two years, a report has found.

The study compiles data from a number of sources to provide information on the experience of discrimination reported by three groups– people aged 18 years and over, children aged 12 to 17 and Travellers and Roma.
