My condolences to Brid and family on the loss of Martin. I am in the police force in Australia and was fortunate to have met Martin several times. Unfortunately I investigated similar incidents to which Martin did over a 15 year period. Being catholic it hurt. I was fortunate to know that someone would understand. I travelled to Ireland and met Martin several times. He was full of advice and help for me trying to understand how organisations were the way they were. Thank you Martin for listening to me, thank you for cheering me up and thanks for all you did for people hurt so badly.
