Question:325 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Equality and Law Reform the reason Ireland has not ratified the UN Convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers. - Racial Discrimination Convention.
As I informed the House on 14 December last, I am working on the preparation of broad-ranging equality legislation covering both employment and non-employment areas and I hope to bring forward this legislation in 1994. Consultations are taking place with interested parties on these measures. This legislation will facilitate our ratification of the convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination.
