The National Consultative Committee on Racism and Interculturalism (NCCRI) will hold its last briefing this afternoon, following a Government decision to cut its funding.
The NCCRI, which employs 13 people, will cease functioning from the end of this month. Some of its functions are to be absorbed by the Office of Minister for Integration.
The body has played a key role in advising governmental and other bodies, and conducting research into immigration and social integration.
The decision to withdraw funding has been strongly criticised by immigrant and voluntary groups.
