Local young people from Clane Youth Project were awarded a Special Commendation at the 2017 Show Racism the Red Card Creative Competition Award Ceremony. Football legend Roy Keane, Integration Minister David Stanton and the Mayor of South Dublin County Council, Guss O’Connell, presented the awards at Tallaght Stadium, Dublin, to young people who developed creative ways to tackle racism.

Show Racism the Red Card is a charity that uses sports and the high profile of sportspeople to tackle racism.  The organisation holds an annual creative competition, calling on young people to develop creative messages about racism and integration.  Three hundred young people from youth groups, Youthreach services, and primary and secondary schools attended the awards ceremony.
