Brendan O'Connor · “I want to make the women of Ireland safer” - Leona Mackin · 18 Jul 2026 podcast

I don't wear a wig.

I don't wear that.

I'm like, I just, I'm comfortable with it like this.

It's like, it's just another part of it, really.

You know, I'm hair and that's all that matters.

I did, yeah.

I suppose style the new look or get involved there, did you?

I did, yeah.

Like, I didn't want to just go and get it shaved and come home and then be like, oh my God, you know, so I,

I let them do a plat each and they cut it out and they kept them and they still have them.

And then, you know, the two of them and Alan just took the razor themselves and they done a piece each and we kind of laughed and cried, you know, and we made a little video for ourselves.

And yeah, it was a really, really hard moment.

But again, we try to just see the fun side of it, you know.

It's all you really can do.

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, I open my eyes every day and this is all the first thing I think of, you know, it's literally living a horror story.

But you make a choice and you either decide to get up and be grateful to be here or you can wallow in self-pity and say, why is this happening to me?

You know, it's happened to me.

These are the cards I've been dealt with.

And all I want to do now is do anything I can to, you know, bring some positivity to this and maybe a little bit of change and make the women of Ireland sleep it safer.
