a chairde ,
just a few words of respect and remembrance for a fine and inspiring irish republican. i think despite all the legendary stuff from the early days and his iconic status even among british soldiers who served tours of duty here i will value him for his work in conflict transformation and also his commitment and that of briege to sf's electoral development given the unfashionableness of south antrim and the attacks on himself and his family of which one occurred allegedly only last week with an alleged attempt on the life of his wife. let us not lack courage or conviction in being bold again in the future to continue to put sinn fein into new places in ireland and serve martin's life work and the respect he earned even amongst his political enemies with an enthusiastic approach that he always brought be it in drama or community activities in his later years.may he rest in peace.
