Martin Kenny

Martin Kenny (born 1 October 1971) is an Irish Sinn Féin politician who has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Sligo–Leitrim constituency since the 2016 general election.

[5] Kenny sought the nomination to be Sinn Féin's candidate in the 2014 European Parliament election in Ireland in the North-West constituency, but Matt Carthy was selected.

The main allegations included that gardaí were engaging informants who were active criminals, outside the Garda Covert Human Intelligence Sources programme.

[11] He also stated that two Gardaí had brought this to the attention of both Martin Callinan (former Commissioner of the Garda Síochána) and the former Minister of Justice, Alan Shatter, but their concerns were ignored.

In October 2019, Kenny said he had received death threats after he spoke out in Dáil Éireann against far-right elements in Irish society using anti-immigrant rhetoric.
