Over 400 people took part in a rally in Co Galway to protest against racism, discrimination and inequality.
Galway Stands Together saw a number of different community groups take part in 'March to the Arch' including Amach!LGBT+, the Galway Traveller Movement and the Galway branch of the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign .
Galway Communities Against Racism and Discrimination, which was launched last year, is calling on government departments and public bodies to address discrimination, tackle structural racism, and promote the inclusion of ethnic and racial minorities. "It is not up to the groups who experience racism and discrimination to come up with the solutions, but it is up to the majority population to ensure that racism and discrimination is eradicated," she said.
