Some lines have been crossed at some of the demonstrations. There is no doubt about that. It is unequivocal. Outside agitators are trying to sow fears and play on people's fears and hatred. Some of these are outside agitators who have an agenda, that is, to stoke fear and so forth. It is a testament to the Irish people that we have welcomed the vast majority of people to this country. There has been a considerable influx of people from different parts of the world and, largely, Irish people have welcomed people from different countries. We know the feelings of being rejected and then welcomed. It is part of our DNA to welcome people, but there are those who want to stoke the worst in people and they have an agenda. I fear the rhetoric they use, especially on social media, is going unchecked.
