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.

Justice Minister Simon Harris says while the figures are worrying, he is encouraged that more people are going to the Gardai:
