Deepest sympathy to Eric and Ford family. First met Martin half a century ago in Sligo Library. Was trying to absorb Ted Nealon’s great analysis of voting patterns in the 1973 general election while Martin tackled World War battle intricacies in Berlin. We stayed friends.

His line on politics and protests infuriated some as much as he inspired others over the decades. He spoke his ‘spake’ fearlessly. He utilised every form of media - poetry, pen, placard, he utilised local and national media, north and south.

Glad to say we published his first poems in Leitrim Observer way back in 1975. He was doubly proud because his mum was a county native. Seen his most recent, among hundreds of poems since, on display in the front porch at St Anne’s church.

Sligo Weekender told all aspects of his compelling life story over four pages in its issue dated October 14th 2021. Martin’s was a race well run and may he now Rest in Peace.

Heartsick to hear this very sad news. Rest in Peace, Martin. We'll miss your gentle soul, your poems, your engaging debates and your smiling face.

So sorry to hear of Martin's sad passing. My deepest sympathy to the Ford family. May he rest in peace.

I am so sad to hear that Martin has passed away and I wish to extend our sincere sympathy to all his family. Martin was a proud Sligonian and was treasured by the town. I always loved our chats and hearing him read his poems. He was a very good and loyal friend to my dad and spoke about him still years after his passing with great fondness and that meant a lot to us too. We are proud to have known Martin and that he considered us friends. May the angels guard him now.
