If, six months ago, you had told Brazilian native Caio Benicio that he would be entering the Irish political fray, he would have been bemused. Life then was all about working 10- to 12-hour shifts, seven days a week, as a self-employed food delivery rider. There was no time to contemplate the political landscape of his adopted home country, never mind stand as a Fianna Fáil candidate in June’s local elections.
