I've seen her round Dublin over the years - she had an amazing voice and wasn't afraid to speak out.  And when she ripped up that photo of the pope she could see what took years for the rest of us to understand- I remember a mural in the heart of the city with words along the lines of 'Sorry, Sinéad - you were right.

Nothing compares.

I think most people didn't know about the abuse scandal at the time, and just took the message as "Catholicism bad". It's like when John Lydon tried to warn people about Jimmy Savile and people just thought he was being outrageous for the sake of it.

Yep - I remember listening to the radio the next morning and the presenter said something like: 'Grow up, Sinéad'. And I agreed with him, because even though I was starting to see the cracks in the cabal of bone-rattlers that were running our country, I was still fucking clueless.
 
At the very least, Sinéad lived to see the rest of us eat our words.

'Through their own words
They will be exposed
They've got a severe case of
The emperor's new clothes.'

Ah feck. He was great. I kind of think of him as having died years ago, Hector being the only character I've seen him play.
