Equal Access Project
The Equal Access Project (‘EAP’) is a joint FLAC & INAR project funded by the European Union to improve access to justice for people who are subjected to discrimination on the basis of race or membership of the Traveller community, whether it is in employment or in accessing goods and services. More details at https://www.flac.ie/news/eap/ We are conducting a piece of empirical and analytical research into the transposition of the EU Race Directive into Irish law, and the effectiveness of the current infrastructure available to victims of racial discrimination to make complaints and to seek remedies. The research report will include policy recommendations that highlight areas for reform.
Research on inequalities experienced by Black, Asian, minority ethnic and Traveller people residing in Belfast

The research has been designed with a group of ethnically diverse clergy and lay readers who will, along with other strands, make recommendations for future work.
