The IHREC said the Garda Siochána bill should include an express requirement to record the racial and ethnic origin of a person being stopped and searched and the location at which the power is exercised.
The Commission submitted over 100 recommendations on policing, gender based violence and historic human rights abuses. "State action to eradicate structural and institutional racism, ableism, ageism and sexism is also required to ensure the equal protection of civil and political rights for all individuals and groups", it says.
Alongside this, it stressed the importance of the State prioritising the improvement of disaggregated data on violence against women and domestic violence, to better understand how ethnic minority women access and experience domestic and sexual violence services. "We must also ensure that redress schemes for past human rights violations are based on the right to truth, justice, reparation, non-recurrence and memory processes," it said.
On reproductive rights, it called on the State to decriminalise abortion in all circumstances and ensure equality of safe and timely access to abortion across the entire country.It also recommended that remote consultations for abortion services continue beyond the Covid-19 pandemic.
We just gonna forget that old couple who were gonna go to jail for going to mass during lockdown? Dont fit the narrative do they
So does that mean that the Liar will be treated as he should be ? Ooops he aint white - free pass there then. 🙄
Scrap the gardai then. They are useless in modern multi cultural Ireland now anyway- the scum of the universe are here
After the last two years the IHREC have proven they're useless and should be defunded. The biggest human rights violations in the west since WW2 and they said nothing.
Any way the ichrec can ask the members of the govt cabinet , directly in the eye, to be less racist?
There is zero accountability for the ruling class and their misdeeds, but they want the citizen under 24/7 surveillance
Where was this bunch of wasters when the government was violating unnecessarily our civil liberties over the last two years because of a scamdemic. Nowhere to be seen. But now they are back trying to justify their existence virtue signalling about the usual.
