    Read her book many years ago, great read, an amazing woman. She'll be missed at rock gigs too as she would often attend them and have some big name acknowledge her presence. Vibe for Philo gigs too of course.

    RIP

    RIP - she sure lived to a good age. Fabulous looking woman - she must have been a knockout in her youth.

    Great song.

    Well I've been the wild wild rover
    Sailed all over the sea
    But this thing that makes me wonder
    Has made a fool of me

    For it took me from my childhood
    Underneath the stars and skies
    And I hear the wind Whistling through the wild wood,
    Whispering goodbye

    It's home, boys, home
    Home, boys, home
    Home, boys, home
    When your far across the foam

    And if you see my mother
    Tell her I'm keeping fine
    Will you tell her that I love her
    And I'll try to write sometime

    And if you see my mother
    Give her all of my love
    For she has a heart of gold there
    As good as God above

    And she's home, boys, home
    Home, boys, home
    Home, boys, home
    When your far across the foam

    Oh there's no place like home

    And if you see my ole one
    Will you tell her I'm keeping fine
    Will you tell her that I love her
    And I'll try to write sometime

    And she's home, boys, home
    Home, boys, home
    Home, boys, home
    When your far across the foam

    Oh there's no place...

    So sorry to hear this. Lovely lady who was rightfully proud of her hugely talented son. May she Rest In Peace.

    Very sorry to hear this. I met her 10 or maybe more years ago at one of her book signings. A lovely lady, she was happy to sign another book I had brought along with me too and had photos taken with everyone. RIP, Philomena.

    I do remember a period where she seemed to be on radio and TV banging on about her son constantly probably plugging a book or something which I found a bit strange. She always seemed to be milking the whole thing to death to me.

    Seemed to be a lovely woman who lived the latter half of her life through Phil. I never knew whether that was a good or a bad thing. RIP

    She had a strong dislike of Gary Moore too for some reason which I found unnecessary.

    Maybe it was because he was a far superior musician to Phil.
    Jealousy can be a cruel bedfellow.

    May she rest in peace.

    Not really, there wasn't a peep out of her when Gary Moore passed.

    Has Metallica gone home yet? Sure the removal will probably be tomorrow evening, they might hang around for it!

    I gotta be honest (and I hope folks'll be honest too when I go into the earth too) but I thought she was a horrible person.

    She always promoted Phil, and for many, many years she spoke of being a single mother to Phil, and how difficult it was...

    Never mentioned she had 2 other children who are still alive, a boy and a girl. Nor did she mention Phil was only told of one sibling, and not the other. (Phil's Sister shares a father with him, but the son is from a different relationship). Nor did she mention she never visited her grandkids, and didn't have a relationship with them.

    And there was no mention of her other children in many obituaries... all about Phil. Probably the way she wanted it.

    Cruel woman.

    What a ridiculous comment this is. God help that the poor woman reminisced about a son she adored was taken from her too early.

    A bit of a coincidence but I just bought a biography on Phil Lynott today.

    I couldn’t care less about who she is or if she’s dead or not I just found it odd that the woman was all over the place going on about her son. No other dead pop stars mother did the same to me it seemed like she craved attention. Why do any of us even know who she is?
