TTT has pointed out some truths about Sinead O'Connor.

yeah no bar to being deleted - a fortiori I wdda said ( more reason not less)

de mortuis nil nisi bonum - yeah ancient forrin just to vsx and tease ABers - about the dead nothing but good

SHuh need said a few things I didnt agree with - being Oirish and the Brits as morrrrrrderers! - of the Irish of course.

but she didnt baulk at selling or singing to the Brits

Her name is an anagram of "Condones IRA? No!"

So no more needs to be said on it :-)

An important figure has left us - a golden voice and never afraid to to say difficult things - many (most?) of which turned out to be all too true - even if that truth was very uncomfortable for the perpetrators of the abuses she cast light on.

A tribute from The President of Ireland shows the regard in which she is rightly held in this country :

A youngish woman is dead, have some respect, if this is impossible for you, just go away .

14.42 Started by the usual suspect, who thinks only his opinion counts on AB.

Found her quite disturbing, but cant pretend to have understood her. If you are an Irish musician there are plenty of causes to fight for.

I wonder if there was a big meeting before the Irish president released his statement.

Quite a gap between discovering her dead and publication.

Not all of the removed answers were from TTT. The removed answers are extremely edgy and I'm happy to leave them removed.
