I have changed the petition to 4 demands for Leo Varadkar to address racism in Ireland. I just learnt from MERJ that hate crime laws can put the marginalised at further risk and the funding can better go towards these 4 reforms:

1. We need a National Action Plan Against Racism, flanked by root-and-branch reform of all areas of state policy, its agencies and their practices.

2. The abolishment and funding of abolishment of direct provision

3. Funding for education on racism

4. Improvement of Garda responses to racism
