Via RTE (emphasis added):
“The Government has announced Dr Ebun Joseph as Special Rapporteur for the National Plan Against Racism (NAPAR) which was published over a year ago.
Dr Joseph is a Nigerian-Irish lecturer, who founded the first Black Studies University module in Ireland.
She will chair an Advisory Group on Racism and Racial Equality, which will facilitate evidence-based implementation of the action plan.
The National Plan Against Racism aims to make Ireland a place in which the impacts of racism are fully acknowledged and actively addressed.
The advisory group will assist in the ongoing implementation of the plan.
In her role as Special Rapporteur, Dr Joseph will monitor progress towards the objectives of the NAPAR.
The Special Rapporteur may also consider matters pertaining to racial equality more broadly, and will have the authority to request information and data from public bodies to support them in carrying out the role.”
Is Dr. Ebun “Nigerian-Irish”?
It depends on what the working definition of “Irish” is.
Dr. Ebun spent her entire life in Nigeria until the age of 32 in 2002 at which time she migrated to Ireland and somehow became “Irish” overnight.
