00:18 Well I think especially, I think the thing she's most known for I suppose in the States in particular was ripping a photograph of the Pope on live television.
00:26 At the time in Ireland you know this was when you couldn't even say the Pope looked bad in a photograph.
00:31 So I think she had a very courageous character and she didn't really care about what people thought about her.
00:38 She always stood up for what she believed in and I think as an artist that's one of the most important things that you can do.
00:44 [Sigh]
00:46 Sad news but do we know really what happened to her as a married woman?

00:54 Making this kind of statement it's just, it's so brave.
00:58 It's so, it's, it's you know putting her career on risk but it shows how sensitive she was as a person.
01:07 How sensitive she was about her society, about environment she, she grown up and that she really cared.
01:18 And she, she used this opportunity to speak loud about it and it's, for me it's extremely brave.
01:26 Sometimes her behaviour, I say I'm not sure society was ready for some of Sinead's behaviour at times.
01:32 So I would say people probably had very mixed opinions of her as a person.
01:36 But as a creative individual you'd have to put your hands up and say absolutely incredible.
