| Short Answer |
No, because there is no mechanism collecting data other than that of the police |
| Qualitative Info |
Although the number of incidents recorded by the police every year is incredibly small, as admitted by the Equality Body in a number of its reports and by the ECRI report of 2011, there is no other record of racist crime to compare it by. |
