Concerns are being expressed about the posting of hate crime messages in Dublin city centre.
The Immigrant Council of Ireland (ICI) says racist posters were placed on their offices on St. Andrew's Street while anti-Semitic graffiti was also sprayed on the former Anglo building on North Wall Quay. A home in Dublin was also scrawled with racist graffiti.
The ICI is appealing to people to report any suspicious incidents so that they can keep track of what is happening.
They say the graffiti and vandalism "will be condemned outright by all right-thinking people".
The Council says it appears to have been a coordinated action, with posters claiming that 'ethnic-cleansing' of Irish people is underway. This follows on the back of an attack on a family home in Dublin at the weekend with messages telling the occupants to leave daubed in graffiti.
The ICI says that on Tuesday alone, 8 racist incidents were reported to them.
CEO Denise Charlton says they believe the incidents are linked.
