This research aims to understand the correlation between income inequality and attitudes towards immigrants. This relationship is important as achieving a deeper understanding of the dynamics that govern both income inequality and attitudes towards immigrants enables us to create policy that reduces negative attitudes towards immigration and improves equality in Ireland. This research may help in the government’s policy aims of “Advancing equality and inclusion” and “eliminating racism and promoting inclusivity”1, as outlined by the Programme for Government 2025.
