The singer reacted to the Dublin riots and Coolock protests, saying the Government needs to look why people are upset.
Imelda May has admitted that Dublin City “has its problems” – but “the blame is going to all the wrong places”. The singer and actress is currently touring with the Mother Of All The Behans, a one woman show where Imelda brings to life the remarkable story of the witty raconteur, singer and rebel Kathleen Behan.
“And I know that my parents and my grandparents were certainly not racist, not sexist, not xenophobic. They were all open. They’d take each person as they came and my mother was a staunch republican and my mother would take each person as you met them. So I think that’s where I’ve learned the way I am is from my parents. They were people who were full of love so that is what I’m for.
Imelda also opened up about the emotion her family feels seeing her on stage last year on the Mother of all The Behans at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin after the death of their mother Madge died in 2021. Imelda lost her 91-year-old father Tony in January this year and the Dubliner said she feels like she “won all the lotteries for the parents that I had”.
