Oh my gosh, it was really special, I have to be honest. It was a really good weekend, really good two shows. No, we had the best time. I think we're all still on a high in all honesty. It was great.

34.209 - 35.472 Ciarán Cudahy

Did your dad enjoy it?

0

35.873 - 51.663 Sienna

Oh, yeah, definitely. I mean, I think just to see him on stage again, being so sort of confident and comfortable on stage. And then even afterwards, like it was just, you know, he was saying how much of a good experience he had. So, no, we're all just so thrilled that it was such a great weekend.

51.683 - 59.097 Ciarán Cudahy

But yeah. How have you dealt with some of the backlash, the right word, some of the negative reviews?

60.258 - 80.404 Sienna

Yeah, I mean, in all honesty, I think we'd all kind of be of the same opinion of just not to, we don't give too much time to sort of those sort of things. You know, there's no sort of point in looking over at that kind of stuff. But I think all I can really say is, is just as his daughter, you know, I'm just so proud of everything that he's achieved to kind of get up on that stage.

80.484 - 97.007 Sienna

And, you know, I mean, even when I was looking around the stadium, I mean, as everyone knows in a stadium, it's a lot of people. And I think to kind of the achievement in itself to get up and do that and, you know, you know, sing in front of all those people and with the boys again. Yeah, no, it was, you know, I can, all I can say is I'm just really proud.

97.067 - 99.27 Sienna

So, you know, that's, that's the bottom line really.

100.232 - 116.235 Ciarán Cudahy

Look, I guess critics who write reviews for newspapers are entitled to their opinion and you can ignore them, but some of the commentary online has been really nasty. Well, that stuff was really best ignored, but I don't know, have you seen much of it or the stuff directed at your dad? There has been awful stuff said about him.

Chapter 2: How has Mikey's daughter dealt with online criticism of her father?

257.333 - 260.685 Ciarán Cudahy

What's he talking about to you before he takes to the stage?

0

261.307 - 281.864 Sienna

Yeah, I mean, we also had conversations, I think, like prior to the shows, we were more so just talking about, you know, I was just saying to him, I think this is going to be a really amazing experience for you. I think this is going to be, you know, something that's going to stick with you, you know, for the rest of your life, hopefully. And I think it'll be an amazing experience.

281.884 - 300.864 Sienna

And, you know, even my dad said on stage, you know, this was amazing. everything he kind of dreamed of as a kid, like that was his, you know, during his talking bit, that's what he said. So, you know, to see, to see someone get to live out their dream was, was really important. And, you know, yeah. So that was more so the chats we would have had before, before he went on stage, you know?

301.505 - 311.674 Ciarán Cudahy

Yeah. And look, they went through so much together and they were together from so young as well. And obviously everything with Stephen had a profound impact on all of them.

0

312.915 - 313.015

Yeah.

313.568 - 319.057 Ciarán Cudahy

so that's probably, you know, it's more than just a few lads who were in a band getting back together.

319.097 - 320.66 Sienna

Mm-hmm.

320.68 - 320.92 Ciarán Cudahy

Is it?

320.94 - 343.232 Sienna

Yeah, no, 100%. I mean, yeah, they've grown up together, you know what I mean? So, but even, you know, with Stephen's moment in the show, I think it kind of did, especially for me, like I only have a few, I was very young, you know, when Stephen was still with us. So I've only got a few memories, but to see kind of that effect, you know, they always dedicate a part of the show to Stephen.
