Tears, applause, singing and dancing as Irish town celebrates Sinead O’Connor

There was a cauldron of emotions as complex as one of Sinead O’Connor’s albums in the Irish town she called home for 15 years when well wishers gathered to say a final farewell to the singer.

The seaside town of Bray gave O’Connor a relatively quiet life for 15 years in an understated house on the main street overlooking the Irish Sea.

The house, Montebello, has become a place of pilgrimage for O’Connor’s fans since news of her death last month, with crowds arriving daily to lay flowers and reflect on her life and music.

A simple pink chair sits outside the pink-framed conservatory, with pink flowers, candles and a photo of the singer, as well as a host of floral tributes.

Viral video doesn’t show Cillian Murphy correcting Prince Harry about being Irish

A video widely shared on social media appears to show actor Cillian Murphy correct Prince Harry about his nationality being Irish, not British. But the video has been altered.

Irish Independent headline did not warn of ‘asymptomatic global warming’

Posts being shared online feature what appears to be a headline on the Irish Independent’s website saying: “Climate crisis explainer: Why is July so cold while everywhere else on the planet is burning? Prof. Luke O’Neill says Ireland is suffering from asymptomatic global warming.”

The part that says “asymptomatic global warming” has been underlined in red.

But the screenshot is not real. No part of that headline has appeared on the newspaper’s website.

The phrase “asymptomatic global warming” hasn’t appeared on the website either.

The person mentioned in the fake headline, Professor Luke O’Neill, is a real professor of biochemistry in the School of Biochemistry and Immunology at Trinity College Dublin. 

He has been quoted by the Irish Independent…
