Josip Strok was a Croatian man, a carpenter, who came to Ireland for a better life. Two weeks ago, he was murdered. In the eyes of his attackers, who said he was not speaking English, he was not welcome in Ireland. That is absolutely grotesque with regard to migrants and others coming into this country. The Taoiseach will agree with me that hateful and xenophobic language is trickling down to individuals who will weaponise this horrible, toxic language and use grotesque violence. I hate to say this but unfortunately some of that xenophobic rhetoric is being used in this House. I ask people who use this language to think again given the horrible stuff going on in our country at this time. Does the Taoiseach agree that this rhetoric is trickling down, not only to immigrants coming into this country-----
