Product Description
Pluralism and Diversity in Ireland' is based on a National Survey of attitudes and opinions in the Republic of Ireland in 2007-08 and marks the third book in a trilogy on the subject of prejudice and tolerance in Irish society. The current survey traces changes in Irish social prejudices over a period of thirty-five years. The two previous publications Prejudice and Tolerance in Ireland (1977), based on a survey of Greater Dublin intergroup attitudes in 1972-73, and Prejudice in Ireland Revisited (1996), based on a National Survey of attitudes in 1988-89. The positive change in attitudes towards Northern Ireland and Britain reported in this text reflects the peaceful outcome of the Northern Ireland Troubles. This book gives a comprehensive insight into many aspects of society in the Republic of Ireland. The results point to the viability of a pluralist Ireland which ensures equality for culturally, politically and religiously-diverse groupings and categories. The findings are, for the most part, positive and confirm greater tolerance towards various ethnic, gender, political, racial, religious and social categories. There are, however, negative findings in Irish attitudes towards certain categories which merit further research and attention. As Ireland becomes more `diverse' in its population, there will be a greater need for adequate Minority Rights' Legislation.
