THE CLUSTERING of migrants in some areas may develop into segregation unless social integration is made a key aim of housing policy, according to a Government-funded report to be published tomorrow.
Although it has found there is currently little evidence of segregation, the study warns this could change where low incomes narrowed newcomers' choice of neighbourhood and Irish residents chose to move out because they felt their area had become too diverse.
The emergence of segregated schools could compound the problem.
Published by the National Consultative Committee on Racism and Interculturalism, this is the first major report on the relationship between housing policy and integration.
