“I came to Ireland 20 years ago as a student, hitch-hiking round for a week and staying in Dublin.”

“Once, I had so many scripts coming to me that I could hardly read them all.”

“I have invested some money and I have a home, but people don't realise that you might only be working for a few weeks of the year and remain unemployed the rest of the time.”

“I've never been in a major competition. If you don't want to be there, you might as well leave now because it would be crazy to not want to be playing in Dublin at a Euros.”

“When I went to the all-Ireland final - Kerry against Dublin - I couldn't get away for an hour and a half with people coming up and wishing me all the best. Not one of them said, 'Martin, when did you leave the IRA?' But every one of them knew I was in the IRA at one stage.”

“It's still possible to find pockets of old Dublin - but its becoming more and more rarified.”
