People must work together to ensure “hatred and anti-migrant feeling” do not deepen across Europe and the world, President Michael D Higgins has said.

The President was speaking as he delivered a speech at the National Holocaust Memorial Day Commemoration in Dublin, warning of the rise of anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, xenophobia, racism, homophobia and intolerance.
