SINEAD O\u2019Connor fans were stunned to discover a memorial outside her old house has vanished.<\/p>\n
The shrine in Bray, Co Wicklow, became the focus of worldwide mourning after the singer was found dead in London aged 56 in July.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Around 6,000 people gathered on Bray\u2019s seafront to see Sinead\u2019s coffin pass by her former home ahead of her private funeral.<\/p>\n
Cards, letters, and stones with personal messages written on them were among the tributes sent from around the world, with the items placed outside her old gaff, Montebello.<\/p>\n
However in recent days the shrine has disappeared, along with a pink chair similar to one Sinead used to sit on.<\/p>\n
One fan posted: \u201cWhere have all our mementoes gone? What harm were the \u00adtributes doing?\u201d<\/p>\n
But those who removed the tributes told The Irish Sun they are being kept safe, in the hope of being featured in a permanent tribute in Bray.<\/p>\n
Neighbours said that with the shrine gone, fans are struggling to identify Sinead\u2019s former home.<\/p>\n
One said: \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe how quickly it disappeared. I thought it would take a long time but it was literally cleared overnight.<\/p>\n
\u201cI did hear from someone who saw it happening, that it was \u00adlovingly done. In a gentle way.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll now put it somewhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n Owners of the house, who bought it off Sinead in 2021, want to turn it into flats. <\/p>\n Some locals are up in arms over the proposal which they say will see their homes overlooked by a new block of luxury flats.<\/p>\n Wicklow\u00a0County Council refused permission for the pretty seafront house – called\u00a0Montebello\u00a0– to be refurbished and turned into apartments in April.<\/p>\n Planners said the building would be an \u201cincongruous structure\u201d and would \u201cintrude on views of protected structures in the vicinity of the site\u201d as well as devaluing neighbouring homes.<\/p>\n But now the applicant has gone to appeal to try and overturn the decision, which they claim \u201cis not justified.\u201d<\/p>\n They expect the An Bord Pleanala decision this month.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nothing Compares 2 U singer\u00a0Sinead\u00a0bought the\u00a0house\u00a0in the coastal town of Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland, in 2007 for just under \u00a31.5m.<\/p>\n She sold it in 2021 for around \u00a3892,000 and had moved back to\u00a0London, where she\u00a0died\u00a0in Brixton in July. <\/p>\nBA pilot snorts coke off topless woman… then tries to fly packed plane to UK<\/h3>\n
