Sinéad O’Connor has condemned the Irish state after the death of her 17-year-old son, Shane.
The singer announced the news of her teenage son’s death on Twitter in the early hours of 8 January, writing: “My beautiful son, Nevi’im Nesta Ali Shane O’Connor, the very light of my life, decided to end his earthly struggle today and is now with God.
“May he rest in peace and may no one follow his example. My baby. I love you so much. Please be at peace.”
Shane had been reported missing two days before his death. O’Connor had previously Shane was “on suicide watch” at the Tallaght Hospital in Dublin.
In a new series of tweets on the evening of 8 January, O’Connor has fiercely criticised the Irish health service HSE, the child and family agency Tusla and the Irish state overall.
“26 hours after my son died in the so called care of the Irish State in the form of Tusla, I have yet to receive any contact from Tusla or their representatives. I was informed by Gardai of my son’s death and later I spoke with the GAL. No contact from Tusla is unacceptable,” she wrote in her first tweet.
O’Connor later posted: “I have now formally identified the remains of my son, Shane. May God forgive the Irish State for I never will.”
The “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer added: “Now tusla want to discuss with me ‘a media release’ no doubt wishing to have me join in their efforts to make this death of my child seem like it wasn’t at the hands of the Irish State.”

Easy to blame someone else for your own misgivings. Are you aware of Sinead O'Connors life over the years.?She had previously asked fans to pray for Shane's health over the years, and previously appealed for help with her teenage son after he went missing in January 2019 2 years ago , or didn't you know that.

Have you any idea just how unfunny you are. You post a thread about a young man's suicide then proceed to make a mockery of it by slagging off other posters.

So true epirb!I have to say this thread is about a mother who lost her son to suicide and highlighting how our nation treats mental illnesses. I am not a fan of Sinead o Connor but it’s true in what she is saying, remember he was her son and she is grieving his loss, no matter. Walk a mile in her shoes and then criticize her.
I lost someone I loved to suicide and it’s not a nice place to be or live with, just my little opinion

It's so easy to blame the authorities for being uncaring, especially under the pressures they are having to deal with at the moment.

I am not blaming authorities or as I would say services, they are under funded and understaffed, the state have a lot to answer to, by cutting the suicide prevention grants and suicide prevention officers many years ago to save money but not lives.It's so easy to blame the authorities for being uncaring, especially under the pressures they are having to deal with at the moment.
