„Once again there will be a special memento of the day for everyone who registers and we hope as many people as possible come along to enjoy the day and help us celebrate Martin’s life and legacy.”

Sna blianta roimhe seo, tá cairde agus gcomrádaithe Martin i Sinn Féin i ndiaidh a bheith taobh thiar den ócáid go mór ​​agus mar sin is léir go bhfuil súil againn é sin a fheiceáil arís i mbliana agus muid ag aistriú chuig bealach nua ag an Inis, Co. Dhún na nGall.

„Ag teacht le blianta eile roimhe seo, léiríonn an bealach áiteanna a bhí speisialta do Martin agus mar sin tá an-áthas orainn an ócáid ​​a thabhairt chuig timpeallacht álainn Inse.

„Táimid cinnte go mbeidh sé mar chúlra iontach d’ócáid ​​speisialta eile agus toisc go bhféadfadh líon na ndaoine a bheith teoranta de bharr riachtanais sláinte poiblí, táimid ag iarraidh ar dhaoine clárú chomh luath agus is féidir.

„Arís beidh cuimhneachán speisialta den lá ann do gach duine a chláraíonn agus tá súil againn go dtiocfaidh an oiread daoine agus is féidir linn chun sult a bhaint as an lá agus chun cuidiú linn saol agus oidhreacht Martin a cheiliúradh.”
