High levels of racism directed at international students 

More than 420 international students took part in ‘Speak Out Against Racism’, of which 97% were from non-EEA countries.

Almost two-thirds of international students have experienced or witnessed racism, and only one in ten incidents are reported to the authorities, new research suggests.

The Irish Council for International Students (ICOS) is due to publish the findings today of the first in-depth investigation into international students’ experience of racism in Ireland.
