Genockey is standing for the Labour party in Tallaght-South.
She was verbally attacked by residents while out canvassing with her mother and brother in Jobstown.
When Genockey said “Don’t vote for me if you don’t want to” the residents said “Not a chance in hell will we vote for you, before continuing “Labour traitors, Labour traitors.”
The video has since gone viral:
