There's been a marginal drop in hate crime in the midlands.
There were 20 hate-related incidents in the region in 2022, compared to 21 the year prior, according to new figures from the Gardaí.
The national number, however, has jumped by almost a third, with 582 incidents reported to Gardaí last year.
Justice Minister Simon Harris says while the figures are worrying, he is encouraged that more people are going to the Gardai:
