- This statement by Sinéad O'Connor about the consequences of tearing the picture of the Pope:
- Brilliant answer by Sinéad O’Connor about the consequences of tearing the picture of the pope:
- Replying to @SineadEOSheaIt's an excerpt from this brilliant interview in @guardian with @shattenstone to discuss her book, Rememberings.
- Devastating news about Lyra McKee. These words she wrote are so upsetting and true for so many. Time for a proper, non-partisan look at where Northern Ireland is at now.
- Dear Edna. She was treated viciously at times but remained unbowed. She was funny and touching and fierce, and a great writer. I've been filming with her for the last year and feel so fortunate for the time she gave me and the incredible stories she told. She was the best.
- A MOTHER BRINGS HER SON TO BE SHOT is now on @Vimeo - 30% of proceeds to @MindWisenv. It took me 5 years to make + almost everyone said Northern Ireland was "irrelevant" but, the response everywhere was huge. These stories, laughs + pains are universal. vimeo.com/ondemand/amoth…
00:00 - Free link to the documentaries of Pawel Pawlikowsi. These are the first films he made and are so hilarious, sad and brilliant
- I was asked by the Observer to write about the killing of Lyra McKee, dissident Republicanism and the needs of Northern Ireland now. Here is some of what I think:
- Very well organized socially distanced protest outside US Embassy in Dublin #BlackLivesMatter #enddirectprovision
- “The male minister, the male head of the HSE, the male de facto chairman of the NMH and the male chairman of SVHG forging ahead with a less than watertight plan for the care of women and babies” Justine McCarthy on latest infuriating NMH concerns: thetimes.co.uk/article/alarm-…
- I am stunned that PRAY FOR OUR SINNERS won Best Documentary at @HamptonsFilm - I was proud just to be nominated in that company. Thanks to all 🙏 Feels like there is real appetite for work that challenges State/Church collusion 🇮🇪🇺🇸
- I am thrilled to say that my new film, PRAY FOR OUR SINNERS, will make its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival this year - @TIFF_NET It was a tough project to make so this is a very unexpected honour. Thanks to @screenireland for funding the film in its entirety
