Message: <blockquote data-quote="valamhic" data-source="post: 120549" data-attributes="member: 111">What do youse think of this add in next week's locals?Val Martin makes his confession before the General election 2024. I was born of Cavan and Monaghan grandparents on a family farm which I still own and run at Kingscourt which is an industrial area with employment.   I worked in metal fabrication and could have gotten by nicely in industry and farming without ever leaving home. I felt something pulling me and calling on me to serve.  I realised it was my country Ireland, its majestic  tricolour flag  and its people.  I joined the FCA, its  reserve army while under age and then joined the Garda Siochana  at 19.  I retired  to serve Kingscourt Community Development Council and got a lot done there.  I retired completely in 2008 to  farm and enjoy life.  Only now do I ask  myself why I lived such a mixed up type of life and what drove me to  manage it all, moving my family home six times?  Only now do I realise the reason why.    There can be only one answer.    I love Ireland’s woods, valleys, lakes, its fields,  its people, its language, its culture, arts and its gleaming  flag to bits.  I must have always loved her to bits.  Now I feel her call again to serve her one more time in her  Dail established by patriots.  It takes effort and courage, but I must answer her call in her hour of need, whether I win or lose.   I have no choice but to run in this election.   The people of Cavan and Monaghan will decide my fate and (perhaps Ireland’s fate also).  That  flag calls me, I  now answer and you good voters will decide your answer  in the ballot box on November 29th. Val Martin.</blockquote>
