Sinead O'Connor is mentally ill.

Sinead herself has acknowledged her mental illness. TV shows regularly feature ill people, and it is not a problem. So it should not be a problem with people who are mentally ill to appear on TV (in fact it would be a lonely day in RTE if all the mentally ill people were kept away . . . . . it would be a lonely day anywhere if we excluded people who have had mental illness).

Bringing Sinead air on while she is in good enough mental health to be on and be lucid is not a problem; in fact it adds to any discussion. People with an illness may have an alternative viewpoint which is equally valid.

I do think that bringing somebody on air who is not in a fit condition to be lucid and contribute to the debate is unhelpful, but Sinead was perfectly coherent and lucid in her contribution tonight.

All said, I did disagree with a fair bit of what she said, but that's unrelated to either her or my mental health.

Sinead O'Connor is there on the couch, with her body destroyed.

Is this still all because men are bastards?

Sinead did just say that 99%+ of men are totally decent, caring people. I missed any reference to "all men". In fact the panel were almost unusually very balanced in their approach, and acknowledged that sexism runs both ways, and is the flaw of a small minority of people.

And I believe the vast majority of women are decent people too.

But why was her dispute anything to do with sexism, just because she was in conflict with a man? She could have being having the same disagreement with a woman.

Compare last night's LLS to Jimmy Fallon interviewing Tatum and Hill...made them feel at ease immediately, like old friends who regularly meet up. After a while, they forgot they were even promoting a film.

Just catching up on the Graham Norton Show there, the two lads on with Julie Andrews, I found them really funny.

Did sinead storm off at the end?

Sinead O'Connor is mentally ill. The media should be ashamed of exploiting this. No way should she ever be let anywhere near any airwaves.

This is a really strange thing to say. I'm not sure you understand mental illness.

If you are right, I hope Sinead got a chance to talk to Professor Jim Lucey. I love Sinead I but I think her indulgent notions have taken her too far and she needs to recognise that

She comes across as the most crass and arrogant person I have seen who has a supposed mental illness. Me thinks she acts it up a bit much. Such an ego. I don't buy into it fully.

I tuned out during most of that discussion.
I blame WM, posting his photo like that totally distracted me .
