Jews in Ireland experienced more than 100 antisemitic incidents, recorded within six months of the launch of a communal reporting system, according to a new publication.
The findings, launched on Monday, March 2nd by the Jewish Representative Council of Ireland (JRCI), constitute the first attempt to document antisemitic incidents in the country.
Irish Jews, a small community of about 2,200 people, reported 143 incidents between July 2025 and January 2026. These were dominated by verbal abuse, vandalism, threats, exclusion, or discrimination, and direct digital hate messages. Physical assault was less common, with only three instances reported.
All incidents were self-reported to the JRCI, which noted that it lacks the authority to independently investigate or adjudicate them. Currently, Ireland does not have an official state mechanism specifically for recording antisemitic incidents.
