TV presenter Emer O’Neill has opened up on racist abuse revealing her son was first targeted over the colour of his skin aged just six years old.
The Bray native, who became a household name hosting RTE’s Home School Hub during the pandemic lockdown, said racism is “rife” in Ireland.
PE teacher Emer, 36, said she always felt different and ashamed of the colour of her skin growing up – but now she’s on a mission to stamp out hate.
