Calling Asian members of staff “f***ing yellow” at a fast food restaurant in Cork was described by a sentencing judge as “above and beyond abusing staff”, as he imposed a total sentence of five months on the culprit for that and for other offences.

Antonio Arundel, of 54 Shannon Lawn, Mayfield, Cork, pleaded guilty to engaging in threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour at McDonald’s on Winthrop Street, Cork, on the occasion.
