VOICE OF THE IRISH PEOPLE: SAMARITAN SINEAD


SINEAD O'Connor is as good as her word.

She said she wanted to help the less fortunate, and we have now found
the proof.

A lot of people were stunned when she did an amazing about turn and became
Mother Bernadette.

But she said she had a calling, and who can doubt now that she meant
it.

Sinead could still be coining it in, living it up and partying with the
stars.

But the former pop star turned priest instead chose to do all she could
for a homeless man.

She made no song and dance about it.

Well done Sinead. Nothing compares to compassion.
