Submission Documents: By Councillor Ruairi Kelly:- "Council utterly condemns the scenes of anti-Irish racism once again witnessed on the streets of Glasgow and extends our full support and solidarity to the Irish community in Scotland and assures them that they and everyone who calls Glasgow their home is a valued member of our society. Council commends the An Gorta Mór Committee on the recent unveiling of the memorial to those who lost their lives or were forced to emigrate during The Great Hunger, many of whom made Glasgow their home and have contributed greatly to the fabric of our city. This, in addition to the Glasgow Green memorial, which involved both the Irish Government and noted historian Tom Devine, are fitting tributes to this period of history which has shaped our city. Council agrees that this racism on our streets cannot be allowed to go on and calls on the Leader of Glasgow City Council to write to Scottish Government and Police Scotland requesting that they address these concerns and work with Glasgow City Council and the people of Glasgow to remove these outpourings of hate from our city."
