a couple of tangential details.

The Independent has an article online,
the reporter is "Roisin O'Connor".

The article concludes with the assertion:
"Griffith was diagnosed with cancer at least twice,
first with breast cancer in 1996
and again, this time with thyroid cancer, in 1999."


Silly thought:
there must be an awful lot of Roisin O'Connors out there,
but I am reminded of Sinead O'Connor's only daughter . . .
