The first national action plan on racism to be published in over a decade aims to systemically deal with the issue of racism in Ireland.his morning, Institute of Antiracism founder Dr Ebun Joseph said the plan marks a “step in the right direction”.“We have to prepare for the future. We have to prepare for an island where everyone who is here is entitled to get the services that they need.Dr Joseph said racism in Ireland is “extremely bad”.
“I was just saying to a friend, I don’t know what has happened, but in the last three or four weeks, I am getting two or three calls every day from people saying, this is what I am going through,” she said.Dr joseph said the unemployment rate of people of migrant descent in Ireland is significantly higher than the national average – and it is higher again for people of African descent.
She said the country needs to introduce quotas to encourage companies to hire people of migrant descent.“We need to make sure that companies are demanding that at least 25% of people who are interviewed are of migrant descent.“You know, we did it for gender and we have to do exactly what we have done for gender. We can do that same pattern, that same process.“If that doesn’t happen, the likelihood you are going to get somebody of migrant descent in there – it is not going to happen.
Next you be told companies must hire before whites
What happened to the meritocracy? Quotas are offensive to those they are supposed to help. If a migrant is the best candidate, they will get the job. This is nothing more than stupid virtue signalling
So just give them the job because they migrants 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you not interview everyone that applies for the job and has the needed skills .. the above comment in itself is racist as it is in sinuating that people get a job interview because of there ethnicity which should in no way ever be a criteria
'The institute of Antiracism' An obscure, toothless NGO with absolutely zero powers of implementation or even lobbying power. Yet this river of vomit of a radio station makes out its in the post soon. Laughable
More quota’s !!!.
This would be ridiculous to try force proof care companies to interview certain sections of society They pick the best person for the job, simple If that’s a migrant, an Irish woman/man,, so be it.
She ain't no doctor, she a scammer and shame on u lot for giving it airtime.
Institute of Antiracism founder Dr Ebun Joseph 🤡🤣🤣🤣 That's all you need to know when you see who the author is a so called Dr who is the supreme race baiter...was she not drummed out of Trinity?
No
Not quiet nativism not quit pro immigration. There is depth to this.
Are 25% of jobseekers of migrant descent?
This is disgusting
Yes but will this stop Jewish & Protestant racism against Catholics, since Varadkar’s Cabinet is topped with Jews, Protestants & homosexuals ? Racism is a 2-Way street ! Varadkar & Cabinet are guilty of Attempted Ethnocide & must be brought before an Irish Catholic Grand Jury!
Sounds like a great reason to halt immigration.
Demanding 🤣🤣🤣
''Institute of Antiracism founder Dr Ebun Joseph'' a dr of racism 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hurtling towards 'No Irish need apply'
Why? Islands like Ireland should be free to hire as needed and on merit only. Well we all should be free but esp Ireland
How racist would it be if I said Africa was a diverse place and that is not going to change? All your doing is making people more racist because I don’t want anything to do with these people. Get out of my country and go home.
Disgusting! I’m sure the ‘no Irish need apply’ will be back.
There is some serious corruption going on with our government and president! You also just know that they have meetings with questions like, ‘what do we say if they say this’ and the response is ‘call them racist’, ‘far right’ etc!!! Money is their true motivation!!
The one with the qualification that's suits the company's needs gets the job ,not a Clown ,doesn't matter about skin colour I think all these news agencies need to rehire and get rid of people that come out with stupid statements like this and that are creating more racism .
How can anyone take you serious when you are quoting Ebun Joseph who is offended by blackcurrant😂😂
No we do not need to introduce quotas. This bs needs to stop
Absolutely no, we do.not comply end if
I, do hope your office is filled with diversity, you of course will have to make way, for these placements
So even if they are not up to the job they should get an interview? Employers now being told what to do is not right!
What about ' Equality for all' ? The Institute of Antiracism probably wouldn't be happy with that most likely being a government paid NGO with it's own agenda of causing as much division in society as possible encouraged on by low quality Media like Newstalk
Counterproductive. Builds resentment. These 'anti-racism' people are leftist zealots and extremists. My wife is an immigrant and doesn't want or expect special treatment.
Does that mean more migrants will need to arrive in Ireland to fill these workplace quotas. It’s almost as if large companies control social policy 🤔
Sounds like discrimination
Schrodingers Irish.
What’s an institute? How do they get credence? How do they become bonafide representatives of what or whom they claim to represent?
That’s exactly what racism is
And tell me why should 25% of ppl who are interviewed be of migrant descent Is that not discrimination 🤔
You must hire a trans, disabled women of colour or face the consequences.
This is racism. Why should candidates be elected for interview based on their race? Lunacy. This will result in resentment and real racism in society.
Send them all back
Team building is about cohesion, we have nothing in common with people not from our cultures. It’s a sure fire way to dismantle natural bonding between team mates
Can we apply that to housing too regarding the Irish ? I mean for them to at least secure 25% of all properties sold within an area,because as someone who works in that field,its certainly NOT what is happening right now and hasn't been for quite some time.
This is the definition of Racism. Who funds this private organisation? Who are its members and what qualifies them to supersede private companies, employers and governments? And why does Newstalk not ask these questions?
This crap really irritates me. Why do we need quotas? Surely the best person for any position should be chosen on merit, not by colour, gender or what country theyve arrived here from. Does that mean if 25% of non nationals don't apply the position cannot be filled? Ridiculous
I’m gonna hire 125% Irish just to balance out some traitorous globalist company who thinks they’re doing “good”.
Lol
Why are 75% of people in TV commercials Black? Ireland needs to introduce quotas to ensure that advertising companies hire enough White Irish people.
Anti-racism is racism. It is an American import, with no relevance to Irish society and the vast majority of Irish people would be against it - if they knew about it! This so-called ‘Institute’ should be shut down immediately and all ‘anti racism’ activities banned in the State.
Does that include English migrants. I hope so.
Why?
This is all a front for the cheap labour they imported from the third world. Could the Government and their long arm in the media be any more sly to both the Irish and foreigners they brought into Ireland to keep wages down.
No they don't, what they need to do is hire the best qualified to do the job regardless of race or nationality....
We really are in serious trouble. 25% who are interviewed will rapidly turn to '25% of company employees must be migrants!' 🤔
Ye have pushed too far already and keep pushing, I'd start working on a plan B I'd say
To which body corporate is this institute for racialism affiliated with?
We don’t need to introduce quotas. We need to educate people for the jobs, let’s make sure that whoever wants get access to good quality education.
Does forced quotas equal equality? racism The best person for the job, not gender or colour
Ireland also NEEDS to stop the flow of 3rd world animals into Ireland. So…it’s great how we’re all listing what Ireland NEEDS. Now what?
Outrageous.
Here we go
Ok lets start with the Late Late Show. After all RTE is the biggest proponent of immigration. I won't be watching either way.
That’s a racist policy. They’re going to fix racism with more racism?
White Irish are soon to be second class citizens
George Orwell would be turning in his grave. Who are these faceless communists?
What? How about 25% are white working class kids?
Leo Varadka on quotas /'positive' discrimination ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Best application should be determined by their level of skill and qualifications for the job not based on where they are from
I think every company needs to ensure that they have the right people based on their experience and qualifications above all else.
Absolutely disgusting. It seems to me the main purpose of these ngos is inflame tensions whilst they enrich themselves.
Great news! But why not make it 100%? The Irish shall live as kings while the migrants provide us with slave labour. Or is that too obvious? Will the foreigners start to catch on?
No No No No
Absolutely not skin colour should never be a reason for getting a job experience, and qualification should be enough not where you're from
Michael D says you can be 'Irish by choice'. So if I choose not to 'be Irish' on the day I apply for the job I should be good, right?
Why?
Alice Feldman says what?
More discrimination under the guise of diversity
No home for 3/4 million Irish people A global minority with below replacement birth rates and a housing crisis Forcing this stuff on us now is an attack on our existence Three billion Indians, Africans and Chinese on earth but once they get to Ireland they are “minorities” 🤦♂️
Isn't that discrimination against the Irish in Ireland.
Coz quotas worked so well in the Seanad , it would have been worster if there was none.
Very American. How's it working out over there?
Racism
In what world is this legal? 'Sorry we can't fill the position, we didn't interview enough paraplegic poc trans men'
Bogus asylum seekers should be deported.
The other 75% of those interviewed should be transgender or non binary!! 👍
Does that mean 25% of people looking for jobs are migrants?
So hire by gender color and migrant status, or... Merit.
I work in Tec, the applicant's qualifications and skillset alone get them the job. Also their ability to assimilate to the company's culture is a big factor.
Let's start by having 25% of radio and television broadcasters of migrant descent.
Equality of outcome doesn't work , why do we insist on following policies that have already been shown to fail.
Dictatorship much 🤔..... that's fair enough if the government is paying the wage bill, but there are not.
No doubt this 'demand' coming from some unelected, overpaid, taxpayer funded, NGO officer. DiversityAgenda. wokery rte
This is the most racist thing I have seen. Jobs should be based on most qualified end of story
do they have pps numbers and that's racists to our own!!
Oooo wow
🤨 except no.
Here we go...
Thats rubbish. Employers will interview most suitable best qualified for the vacancy
People should never accept working alongside a known quota. If you work alongside a quota, make them and everyone involved regret being part of such an anti irish system.
No, no, no, no. The best applicant, regardless of gender, race etc. Should always get the job. I think quotas are insulting, and that they tell those hired under them that they were only hired because they had to fill the quota, not because they were the right person for the job.
That woman also stated that between around 40-60 % of black people living in Ireland don’t have jobs 😂😂😂 and y would they, free welfare payment every week which is a small fortune where they come from and free everything else as well. Y do u think everyone wants to come here🤣
White Irish man need not apply.
Affirmative Action Well ask the Americans if that was successful
No
What a joke of an idea…never mind qualifications…all our children will end up leaving this country
Orientals, Filipinos, and Indians have great work ethic.
Tech jobs and other skilled sectors probably exceed this quota. Trade professions too.
What gives FF and FG the right to fill Ireland with everyone and anyone from around the world.
