I believe its time for real radical change. We need the voice of change, demanded by the people, to be heard at the highest levels in Ireland -it needs to be heard in the Dail and across the nation. That is why I am standing in the General Election as a candidate for the People Before Profit Alliance. I have been campaigning for over ten years at a grassroots level on issues such as demanding Public Amenities and opposing double taxes such as the Bin Tax that unjustly penalise families on lower incomes.   A Message from GINO • I am presently living in the Cherrywood area of Clondalkin. I was born in Islandbridge Flats, and moved out to Neilstown in 1979. • I am a very proud Socialist, and honoured to be Branch Secretary of the Clondalkin branch of the Socialist Workers Party. • The reason why I became active in politics, was what I seen in Ireland and well beyond in the World. Poverty, War, Social injustices, racial discrimination, and the havoc that the Capitalist system left behind, • I believe in radical change, where working People take control of there lives, and throw the yoke of free market jungle capitalism off their backs. • I have been lucky to have traveled to many places in the developing world, people are people no matter where you go, whether that's Dublin or Dakar, we can unite, under the banner, "Stop the Corporate take over of the World". Unity is Strength
