From Worker’s Solidarity No. 84, November 2004 Rząd robiąc kozła ofiarnego z emigrantów zachęca rasistowskie zbiry W czerwcu 2004 roku rząd zdołał przekonać 79% obywateli aby glosowali za referendum ograniczającym prawo do irlandzkiego obywatelstwa części dzieci urodzonych w tym kraju. Wspieraliśmy kampanie która sprzeciwiała się referendum opierającym się na nie przyznaniu dziecku obywatelstwa z uwagi na to że jego rodzice są emigrantami, uważamy to za zachętę dla rasistów i sprzyjanie atmosferze która pozwoli na jeszcze większa ich aktywność. |

Immigration and Racism in Ireland 20:39 Tue 10 Oct 0 comments In the last fifteen to twenty years, two new phenomena have finally reached Ireland –Immigration and alongside it - Racism. This is not to say that we Irish never had our prejudices before the ‘blacks’ arrived, back then we were quite happy directing our bigotry and ignorance towards travellers, gays, Jews and Protestants.

Irish union branch Opposes Tactics Of Deportation Cops 21:41 Tue 09 Aug 0 comments The Dublin City North Branch of the INTO has passed a motion endorsing the call by outgoing union president, Austin Corcoran, that all schools become safe places for all children -to be given the status of embassies. It is hoped that more branches within the union will take up this issue and that by next year's annual congress a campaign will be launched in the union to make this a reality Deported to be Mutilated? 00:57 Sun 03 Jul 0 comments The Irish government is currently trying to deport women and children under the threat of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), which frequently results in death. Asylum in Ireland can be sought on grounds of religious or political persecution. However the government refuse to acknowlege FGM as a political act and therefore women and children cannot apply for asylum on the basis they have suffered or will suffer FGM if deported.

Céad Míle Fáilte*? Racial Profiling in the Ireland Oct 24 1 comments Over the last couple of days we have witnessed massive media hysteria about the case of Maria, a young girl supposedly abducted by a Roma couple in Greece. DNA tests and Lombroso-style racial profiling have come into action in a case that has stirred the irrational anxiety that feeds racism and bigotry. Beyond the fact that child abduction is a serious issue, the "whiteness" and "blondeness" of the alleged victim have been emphasised together with the "Roma" condition of the alleged culprits. Let us remember that this is taking place in Greece, a country where blatant racism (as expressed by Golden Dawn) is on the rise, so there are good reasons to be cautious about this whole case. Irish Travellers - Apartheid, Irish Style Oct 23 0 comments In Ireland institutional racism has evolved to come fitted as standard. At the same time the State dithers about making the decision on whether or not to grant Travellers ethnic status. As the Stephen Lawrence family lawyer, Imran Khan stated – when you write laws of the land specifically for a people – it is a sure sign that you recognise them as a specific group when you bring in laws that pertain only to them. So, in Ireland, are Travellers specifically targeted in the Anti-Trespass Act brought in 2002 and Section 24 of the Criminal Justice Act (1994). Support the Dale Farm families - Put a marker down to stop the racist onslaught against Travellers Oct 11 0 comments Dale Farm is a halting site which is also the largest concentration of Irish Travellers in Britain, being home to over 1000 people (about 100 families), many of whom are said to have their cultural roots in Rathkeale in Limerick. It was started in the 1960s when a number of families bought the former scrapyard site and Basildon council granted planning permission for 40 houses. This happened in the context of broad progress in race relations and a brief breeze of relative official tolerance for Travellers, epitomised in the liberal-sponsored 1968 Caravan Sites Act. Basildon Council have put aside an £18 million budget to bulldoze the site and forcefully evict the families (a staggering figure when you consider that in 2010 the total UK budget for providing Travellers with halting facilities was less than 30 million). [Français] Sectarian violence on the streets of East Belfast Jun 22 0 comments
The cracks beneath the surface in the peace process were once again exposed on the streets of East Belfast last night in the second night of serious sectarian rioting. A UVF led mob numbering in the 100's has been engaged in attacks on catholic homes at the edge of the Short Strand. This is the reality of a peace dividend which has failed to deliver to working-class communities and stands in stark contrast to suburbia only 5 miles away which produced golf champion Rory McElroy. The Afghan Hunger strike and immigration in Ireland Aug 29 0 comments The Afghan hunger strike brought into sharp focus the new Ireland into which our country has been transforming over the last 10 years. Our booming economy and relatively high wage levels have drawn many thousands of immigrants into the country in search of a better life here. Much as the Irish once looked to America for the promise of a happier future, so many people from less well off countries now look to Ireland. more >>WSM remove racist slogans in Cabra, Dublin Dec 18 WSM - Jack White branch 0 comments Local members of the WSM have removed racist slogans which had been painted along the canal. |
