Tributes have been left at the Grammy-winning singer and songwriter’s former house ahead of her funeral
Sinead O’Connor has been described as a woman “for the women of Ireland” by those leaving flowers outside her former home.
Karen Kehoe put together a wreath for the memorial outside O’Connor’s former home on behalf of victims of abuse in Ireland. O’Connor sparked controversy when she ripped up a picture of Pope John Paul II on the US comedy show Saturday Night Live in 1992, in protest of abuse in the Catholic church.Years later, Pope John Paul II would apologise for and publicly recognise that abuse had been happening in Catholic institutions.
“She was the most genuine person and it struck a chord with me, just everything she’d been through when she was still a mighty strong woman.”Ms Buckley said O’Connor was an inspiration to Irish women. “And she stood up for us. She stood up for Ireland. When everything that was happening, the abuse, all that, it didn’t stop. But she stood up and people listened.”
