Abstract
As recently as November 1988, the then Minister for Justice, Gerry Collins, speaking in Seanad Éireann during the Second Stage of the Prohibition of Incitement to Racial, Religious or National Hatred Bill, remarked that Ireland was “essentially a homogeneous society” and “despite our membership of the Eu-ropean Community and, therefore, our close relationship with a number of societies which are becoming increasingly multiracial, the racial structure of this country is unlikely to change signifi -cantly for some time to come”1. As a result, Collins argued that the “legislation we are now debating may not appear to have the same immediacy for us as for some other countries” (ibidem).
