Dublin's Lord Mayor says rules about statues in the city should be broken for Sinead O'Connor.

The local authority has a rule meaning a memorial can't be build for someone until they're dead for 20 years.

James Geoghegan has said if there's anyone to break rules for - it would be Sinead O'Connor.

Last week, the anniversary of the singer's death was overshadowed by a wax figure being unveiled which drew criticism with many saying it didn't look like her.

In a statement the Lord Mayor says: "“There is a longstanding rule in Dublin City Council that you can’t build a statue or a memorial for someone unless they are deceased for 20 years.

"If ever there was someone the rules should be broken for, Sinéad O’Connor is that person.

It would be nice to turn what was a negative controversy about her wax sculpture into something positive that could involve Sinéad’s family and pay tribute to her legacy."
