Wax figure of Sinead O’Connor removed from museum after backlash

The waxwork had also been inexplicably placed in the church Star Wars part of the museum, which is next to it Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Vader.

Museum director Paddy Dunningtold the Irish examiner: “We portrayed her as a serious artist during that period Nothing compares to 2 U, which was an emotional scene, an emotional video. I think it touched everyone’s hearts; someone literally cried a real tear.”

The own sculptor, PJ Heraghtytold the outlet that it was important to capture her vibe as a “sad individual.”

However, following the backlash, the museum’s team met on Friday morning and decided to remove the likeness. They said they would work on creating a ‘more accurate picture’ and admitted they could ‘do better’ Guardian reported.
