Ireland's anti-racism plans have been left to 'gather dust' 

Recent weeks have seen a number of demonstrations protesting against the accommodation of asylum seekers here.

A national plan against racism has been left to “gather dust” while asylum seekers are left to deal with “hate-mongering, disinformation, and outright lies”, it has been claimed.

A report on the National Action Plan Against Racism (NAPAR) was submitted to the Government by an independent committee last June. Committee members were told it would be published in October.
