Dr. Joseph Selected as Special Rapporteur

The Irish Government has announced that DISE Member Dr Ebun Joseph has been selected as Special Rapporteur for the National Plan Against Racism (NAPAR) which was published over a year ago.

The National Plan Against Racism aims to make Ireland a place in which the impacts of racism are fully acknowledged and actively addressed. As Chair of this group Dr. Joseph will assist in the ongoing implementation of the plan and monitor progress towards the objectives of the NAPAR.

Since 2023 and the surge in far right protests, the mainstreaming of the far right discourse has almost unleashed a form of permission to behave in appalling ways towards individuals…. this includes attacks both physically and verbally, including death threats and the murder of a man speaking Croatian in Dublin.
