    Sinead O'Connor has spoken to Ryan Tubridy about her decision to become a healthcare worker.

    The Dublin singer is going to train to become a healthcare assistant and spoke to The Ryan Tubridy Show this (Wednesday) morning on RTÉ Radio 1, revealing that the death of a close friend inspired her to move into the area of palliative care.

    "That's something that I wanted to do for years, it's not because of the Covid thing, it's not that I'm rushing to the frontline," she said.

    What next for this woman? Climb Everest? Open a smoothie shop?

    She hops on and off things very fast.

    Yes, good for her, but the need to come on air and announce every decision she makes in life via Tubs or the LLS etc, worries me.

    She needs healthcare, not be providing healthcare. Nobody with profound mental health issues should be working in healthcare.

    This. This is most likely her latest publicity stunt because she desperately needs attention. This will go over about as well as her conversion to Islam.

    And even if she was serious no way could she pass a psychological evaluation. Or survive any of work involved.

    I have a hunch the thread title was deliberately phrased to draw people in.

    What time do we start clapping for her and call her a "front line hero"?
    Does she know where she can get the free coffee?

    Ah Sinead, was a very close friend in my late teens, it's over 35 years since I saw her last, she's had a roller coaster of a life and clearly one of Irelands greatest. Wasn't entirely comfortable with the finding various religions episodes and not at all sure what this latest development is all about, just hope she continues to focus on her music & quality of life.

    Is maith an scáthán súil charad.

    Would you really wanted to be treated [or your family members] by her? Given her attention seeking antics over the years many people would run out the door if they saw her.

    I’m sure anyone laying in a hospital bed would just be delighted to see someone with views like this looking after their health :rolleyes:
    "I'm terribly sorry," her tweet said. "What I'm about to say is something so racist I never thought my soul could ever feel it. But truly I never wanna spend time with white people again (if that's what non-muslims are called). Not for one moment, for any reason. They are disgusting."

    She might as well announce that shes training to be an astronaut for all the chance of her winding up in another profession



    Plus she's been a space cadet for years
