Last night, local politicians and community leaders said Dundalk is a welcoming town for its large number of foreign residents, many of whom work in Paypal or in the National Pen facility where Mr Sasaki was employed. “Dundalk has many foreign nationals living and working within it without problem. We need these people despite what these racists have to say,” said Fianna Fáil TD Declan Breathnach. “What really annoys me is there are people on social media who aren’t even from Dundalk trying to intimidate and divide its people. And that won’t happen because the people are rallying around the family of Yosuke,” Fine Gael Councillor John McGahon said. “Things like those posters are being done by such a small minority who are giving our town a bad name. Dundalk has everything going for it. There is more in our town to unite us than to divide us.” Anne Campbell, a Sinn Féin councillor said most Dundalk people were “horrified” by the scenes outside the court, but she expressed concern about a “vocal minority” within the town who she said were capitalising on the attacks. “Things are a little bit more difficult for a non-white Irish person today. It highlights the work we have to do.”

A similar amount of people outside and a similar amount of very angry people shouting anything and everything that came to mind in the few seconds of available 'abuse' time. It was no different!? Yes one person if I heard correctly shouted anti Muslim abuse. But other than that NO DIFFERENT. Both men were hated equally.....
