“What people don’t know is that first of all, we in Ireland knew 10 years before you all did that child abuse within the Catholic Church. We had evidence,” O’Connor explains. “The photo itself had been in my mother’s bedroom wall all my life. I was genuinely very angry with what the church were doing. By ripping that picture, you know, I risked my career and everything.”
She continues. “But I know what you’re getting at and yes, this didn’t occur to me until about six months ago, it’s my father.”
