A new documentary produced by RTÉ on the legendary artist Sinéad O'Connor is set to grace TV screens tomorrow night featuring archival footage, interviews with Sinéad and her nearest and dearest.

Included in the list of public figures reflecting on Sinéad incredible life and career are David Holmes, Christy Moore, Imelda May, Don Letts, BP Fallon.

SINÉAD, an hour long documentary which will touch on a number of topics including her songwriting, her tearing up of a picture of Pope John  Paul II and how, in the words of Imelda May, "we always will be thankful for everything she did for us as women in Ireland".

As a musician:

Speaking on her artistry, collaborator and producer of Sinéad O'Connor's final album, Northern Irish composer David Holmes said: 'She had the most incredible control of her dynamics. The most tender whisper that touched your soul to the most raging visceral scream and then pull it back again."

Holmes also reflected that O'Connor's work has 'tenderness and rage- all of that encapsulated into a pop song".

The Late Late Show:

Other aspects of discussion in the documentary were Sinéad's relationship with fellow Irish pop cultural giant Gay Byrne, where interviewees describe the back and forth rapport the two had on Ireland's biggest talk show.

Sinéad made an estimated 8 or 9 appearance on The Late Late Show, appearing on screen with all three of the show's presenters- Gay Byrne, Pat Kenny and Ryan Tubridy.

Sinéad's outspoken nature and political beliefs were especially apparent on her appearances on Gay's iteration of the show, especially as Byrne's tenure took place in a predominantly conservative Catholic Irish society.

The singer songwriter also appeared alongside the Late Late Show Trinity of presenters at the show's 50th anniversary in 2012.

Tearing up the Picture of the Pope on SNL 1992:

Of course, no documentary on the inimitable Sinéad O'Connor would be complete without discussing the iconic tearing of an image of Pope John Paul II when he visited Ireland. Both a seminal moment in her career, but also a near international incident, film director Donn Letts described the moment as a "cultural phenomenon".

Irish musicians such as Christy Moore and Imelda May also chime in with their musings on the 1992 SNL incident and how it impacted them and Ireland at large.

SINÉAD is billed to be a tender tribute to one of Ireland's finest musicians but also cultural figures. The documentary discusses not only her compelling artistry, but her worldview on issues such as; catholicism, nationalism, identity, feminism, femininity, capitalism and the media.

Her convictions regarding issues such as Catholic Church, the X Case, Black Lives Matter were seen as radical at their time, and what strikes the viewer overwhelmingly when watching SINÉAD is how brave she was. As she said in her final interview with Hot Press, "Anger is the first step towards courage", and Sinéad O'Connor had a voice, and was never afraid to use it, even when it came at great personal expense to her.

SINÉAD airs on Monday the 8th of January at 9:35pm on RTÉ One & RTÉ Player.
