The International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, which has been signed by Ireland, is currently under consideration by Government Departments to see if further measures, including legislation, are necessary to enable Ireland to ratify the Convention.
Any proposals which the Government may have as a result of that consideration will be announced in the normal way in due course.
