India raises racial attacks issue with Ireland human rights body

Ireland has become a significant destination for Indian students seeking higher education, particularly post-graduate, doctoral and post-doctoral degrees. India has broached the recent racial attacks on its citizens in Ireland with the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (HREC), seeking concerted action on the safety of the community.
Earlier this week, Indian Ambassador Akhilesh Mishra met the HREC Chief Commissioner Liam Herrick “for a productive exchange of views in the context of the recent state of attacks on members of the Indian community in Ireland and the need for concerted action to ensure the protection of the rights and safety of Indian nationals in Ireland, as well as of all members of the community”, officials said.
Herrick briefed Mishra about measures already taken “in an institutionalised manner to closely monitor and respond to the challenges of racism-related incidents and discrimination in work places, schools and the society in general”, officials said.
