Vincent Peter Martin[2] (born 1968) is an Irish Green Party politician who served as a Senator from June 2020 to January 2025, after being nominated by the Taoiseach.

[4] The "P" in his name is a reference not only to his middle name (Peter) but to his grand-uncle, Vincent "Pepper" Martin, a Brooklyn-based professional boxer who once made an appearance on the front cover of The Ring, a well-known sports magazine.

He served in local politics for 10 years and he was noted as one of the few representatives at that time who advocated for Environmentalism and stood firm on decisions about planning permission.

[6] He was expected to name fellow local Green Party member Darcy Lonergan as his replacement, but as Longeran was away studying in the United States,[6] Vincent instead co-opted his sister Catherine into the position.

The child's mother, Slovak-born Jana Novakova, suffered injuries to her right arm and shoulder, as well as post-traumatic stress disorder.
