That's a harsh view, but I understand it.
Have a friend who's bipolar (I myself got 'lucky'... I have mental health issues, but not bipolar disorder or schizophrenia). I know when he's gotten the wrong medication, or isn't taking his meds, because he'll come out with ludicrous ideas that are beyond faniciful.
(Plans to be a DJ, plans to release a hit single and he's gonna get a friend of ours to play guitar on it, needs a music video so someone he knows will make that for him. One time, he knew I was having issues with my landlord, and then weeks later he wanted to come visit and hang out for a week or so. Between my landlord, and my job, that wasn't gonna happen. Other times he's going into politics, etc etc. He's pretty solid when he's on his medication, tho. But I know when he's having an episode.) But he doesn't deny his illness.
The problem with Sinead is she tells people she doesn't have mental health issues. She won't take her meds.
Folks were telling people to lay off of Kanye when he had an episode with his bipolar disorder.
With Sinead, the media herald her as a feminist icon.

Yeah yeah heard it all before. My friend was off fighting with the French Foreign Legion the week before university end of years exams. He is always bang on about market trends but quotes ridiculous prices at either end.
Kanye West is a different kettle of fish. He roots himself in real political controversy while his Mrs is in and out to the White House. Sinead wanting a national headlice week is just Sinead just having a bad week. The Media is partially to blame because she is good fodder for Journalists tabloids. Any time you are having a dry week, lets check in and see what Sinead is at?
Mental health problems like Schizophrenia get worse over time, as they are degenerative diseases and shocks (losing family members, homelessness etc etc) make bad situations worse. BiPolar, not that it gets worse but the number of life issues mount up over time (losing friends, accommodation and employment).0 -

She's a Journalist now, apparently. Last I saw of her was a few years ago on Virgin Media News. Her daughter was in the children's hospital, and players from the GAA, Rugby and Football were visiting the children there.
She got married to a Stephen Byrne fellow.Double O Seven wrote: »Danann Breathnach
He had a bit of a glow up, as they say. Went from a nerdy type, to practicing his smoulder. Anyways, he works more behind the scenes now. He's a photographer and filmmaker now.
Works in advertising, has worked on campaigns for Dove, among others.0 -

Who is he please?
First on the right, the guy in the Body warmer? That's Liam McCormack.
Second from the left, is Sinead Kennedy. Second from the right, can't remember her name, but she was a gaelgeoir.
And the guy with the massive hair I've no idea who he is.
Liam used to be an RTE go-to presenter, even working as a continuity announcer. Unfortunately for him, as time went on, he couldn't transition over to grown up TV. Got stuck in children's programming, before he was pushed out for 'the yoof', who in turn got pushed out when RTE cut back on pretty much everything.0 -

Her sister was acting in TG4. I always found Molly annoying as hell (not bad looking, but she'd drive me insane), but her sister was a beauty.
Definitely an upgrade from Molly.https://susankennedy.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/16109-John-Moynes-New-Sattitude-Presenter-at-RTE-27-09-2004/G0000P_YFcFG9P3I/I0000Gp6Dn1n.Idg
There's a link to that Sattitude photo, John Moynes is apparently the chap with the long hair.
They could have taken another one where Sinéad had her eyes open.
Thank you very much-I remember he didn't stay in Tv for too long. Had a google to see what he's up to now, if he stayed in TV or whatever.
He's an author, a stand up, and an actor, writes for Broadsheet and has a few books published too. I did not expect him to look like Alan Moore. But he's not exactly, um, prolific. I'd say there might be an element of 'woke' to his stuff.0 -

Couple that with more successful shows like GLOW getting axed cos of the Rona, and it's looking like it's done. Sure nearly every celebrity and their show could fall into that category over covid. Even then, there is no sign of her show getting cancelled
I take it its more of a case that you are not a fan, and not that Aisling Bea has suddenly vanished out of the spotlight. She was even on The Late Late show last week.0 -

Your right! I found a terrible quality clip of her on the Savage Eye.

A better quality clip is her impression of Grainne Seoige when Savage eye parodied 'The All Ireland Talent Show'.
(Remember that show? Grainne Seoige presented it. I think it was her last gig before heading off to South Africa.)
It's genuinely hilarious.
