Waaaaaaaaaaaait to read the post before clicking agree!!! ;)

I am a great admirer of Sinéad O'Connor - her music and her courage.

I'm sure many people are aware of the controversy she's evoked over the years and opinions on her vary wildly, though often conclude with 'she's fine, just crazy' or 'bless her'.

However, I find myself actually getting quite peeved that her efforts to expose the issue of child abuse in the (predominantly Irish) Catholic Church were met with a boot in her face, only for her statements to be proven correct with recent exposés. Being the person that she is, she has seen this through and has spoken out even getting onto TV news now that her fight has been given wider credence.

My problem is when I bring this up during chats when we're on this kind of topic, it's like I've just wibbled my lips with my finger and trilled like a canary on dope.

Allow me to provide a couple links to demonstrate the things Sinéad has stated:

http://www.sineadoconnor.com/ (her latest written update)

(a recent new appearance - love her final words!)



Someone has created a 'KeepGoingSinead' group in YouTube and there are many other clips of her recent remarks and interviews.

So my question is this - am I wrong in admiring and supporting her views on the cover up of child abuse all this time? Does the mention of her name devalue the issue or my opinion on it? Does anyone else think she's made a valid contribution to airing the issue?

And to those who try to rake up misquotes from her past or feel they have to comment on her change in looks: photo:620821
