Lyra comes home to Cork: 'You are always replaceable — I struggle with that'

Ahead of a hometown show at Cork's City Hall, Manon Gilbart sits down with Cork popstar Lyra. As honest and vulnerable as ever, she chats about the hard work behind the polished image, her commitment to empowering the next generation, and that viral rendition of Amhrán na bhFiann

As she was about to step onto Croke Park to perform in front of over 74,000 NFL fans, nothing could have stopped Lyra from singing her heart out — not even a faulty earpiece.

In a dress covered in glitter, with shoulder pads adorned with green and gold, she made Amhrán na bhFiann her own.
