Speaking outside Leinster House, Mary Lou McDonald said:

“Martin was an inspirational Irish republican, a tireless worker for Ireland, for unity, for peace, and for reconciliation. It was my privilege to call him my friend. He will never be forgotten.

"His legacy is a peaceful future, that future that he helped to secure for our island and the advancement of the movement for Irish unity which gathers pace year-on-year."
