Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said it was a “privilege” to be at the funeral of Sinéad O’Connor.

The life of the singer was celebrated at a private ceremony, before the funeral cortege travelled past her former home in Bray, Co Wicklow, so fans could pay their respects before a private burial on Tuesday.
