The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) is a body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent members from each member state. Its aim is to combat racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and intolerance at a pan- European level and from the angle of the protection of human rights.

One of the pillars of ECRI's work programmes is its country-by country approach, in which racism and intolerance in each of the member states of the Council of Europe are analysed.

ECRI's third report on Ireland was published on 24 May 2007. The report was broadly positive and recognises progress made since the second report in 2001.


ECRI held a Round Table event in Dublin on 15 November 2007. Issues discussed at the event included:

- ECRI's Third Report on Ireland
- Promoting equality and diversity in the workplace
- Safeguarding the Rights of the Traveller Community under the Framework Convention for the protection of National Minorities
