The European Commission Against Racism and Intolerance has released a report recommending that Ireland legislate to criminalize hate speech. The report highlights that the Jewish community received a government grant to act as a trusted flagger of antisemitism and other forms of racism.

Additionally, the report urges the Irish government to fulfill its commitment to introduce self-declaration gender recognition for minors. It also calls for the recruitment of more police officers with a minority or immigrant background.
