Una Mullally: Concern is not enough, action is required. If we can’t make them do it out of guilt or shame, then maybe we can do what O’Connor did and scream until the demand is heard and met.

I struggle with an element of the reaction to O’Connor’s death that states: “We didn’t deserve her.” That sort of guilt and shame is what O’Connor, and people like her, fought and fight to eviscerate. And yes, there is guilt permeating some of the reactions to her death, but guilt and shame are paralysing things. They are impositions of stasis. They demand a wallowing that defies action.

People have visited the former seaside home of Sinead O'Connor in Bray, Co Wicklow to leave flowers and pay their respects.
