Local farmer and former Detective Sergeant Val Martin has been nominated as Irish Freedom Party General Election candidate for the Cavan - Monaghan constituency.
Mr Martin is a farmer in Kingscourt, Co Cavan, and former Garda Detective Sergeant based in County Monaghan and Cavan Town. He says he'll demand that Irish families are put first in the social housing list and will demand an end to discrimination against Irish people in planning laws.
He believes "in order to give Irish people a chance to acquire a family home in the current housing market, that immigration and thus housing demand must be strictly controlled.
The Co Cavan farmer believes we need to put the needs of Irish people in our own country first. The local Irish Freedom Party General Election candidate wants the process changed in relation to how immigration is handled by the government here.
