‘I will not be backing down’ – Social Democrats drop Israeli local election candidate

Orli Degani, a business consultant who is now running as an Independent for Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, said she decided to run because she wanted to “give back” to the community that accepted “me and my family with open arms”.
