New Irish MP Gino Kenny, from the Anti-Austerity Alliance, celebrated his election victory last Saturday by waving a Palestinian flag.

Kenny, 42, is a local Irish activist that has been a People Before Profit Alliance councillor on South Dublin County Council since 2009.

He also has been an active campaigner against the property tax and the water charges, and, if elected, says that solving Dublin Mid-West’s lack of social housing will be his number one priority.

Gino was elected to South Dublin County Council in 2009 and subsequently re-elected in May 2014. In the 2011 General Election Gino received 2500 first preference votes and hopes to turn that into a Dáil seat next time around. This time, he received 4629 votes
