    Solidarity with the Traveller community, mourning the death of a number of children to suicide in recent days. Poor mental health outcomes among Travellers are intimately linked to the effects of racism, disadvantage, prejudice and discrimination. As a State, we must do better.

    Violence and hate directed against our LGBT+ friends, Ioved ones and colleagues is abhorrent. Hate crime in all of its forms needs to be legislated for, exposed and tackled. Our thoughts with those affected, and all who love them.

    High Court Rules that Asylum Seekers’ ‘Normal residence’ is in Ireland Ruling Quashes @RSAIreland Decision Refusing Driver Licences to #AsylumSeekers @_IHREC #AmicusCuriae in significant case @masi_asylum @NascIreland @immigrationIRL @IrishRefugeeCo ihrec.ie/high-court-rul…
    High Court Rules that Asylum Seekers’ ‘Normal residence’ is in Ireland 05/11/2021 Ruling Quashes RSA Decision Refusing Driver Licences to Asylum Seekers The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (‘the Commission’) has welcomed as ‘very significant’ today’s High Court ruling on access to driving licences for people seeking international protection in Ireland. In the Judicial Review case before the High Court, in which the Commission acted as amicus curiae (‘friend of the court’), two asylum seekers challenged a decision by the Road Safety Authority (the ‘RSA’) to refuse them permission to exchange their full driver licences, issued by their country of origin, for Irish ones. The RSA claimed that the two applicants were required to produce evidence that they were ‘normally resident’ in Ireland, that they had not done so and so were not entitled to driver licences.

    Being delivered to every primary and secondary school in Ireland this week - this beautiful poster illustrating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in English and as Gaeilge! Use this poster for classroom discussions on human rights and the lives of young people.
    A poster hanging in a library. The colorful poster hangs portrait style and features separate illustrations for each of the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights.
    A close up of one of the Articles - in Irish - Airteagal 2 - features an illustration of people from different religious and ethnic backgrounds.
