Gaps in data collection make ascertaining the number of crimes involving racism/hate-crime brought to court very difficult. However “Information provided by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) shows that last year there were 122 racist incidents, including harassment, minor assaults and public order offences.” – Irish Examiner, 2011. |
