“I talk to her all time. I feel she is there all the time – helping me. I give out to her sometimes too,” said Eileen O’Riordan this Wednesday of her beloved daughter, the iconic Cranberries singer Dolores O’Riordan. She also discussed Dolores’ children.

“The girls are doing OK but Taylor is understandably finding it very hard. They are moving house – too many memories,” she explained in a recent Limerick Reader interview.

She also discussed visiting her daughter’s grave.

“I go up quite often. I have to go up this evening now and clean it for the weekend because the frost got all the flowers. There are flowers still coming – the fans abroad are sending flowers by Interflora. Some of them are being delivered to the grave.”

The family has also released the following letter a week or so ago:

We the family of the late Dolores O’Riordan R.I.P. would like to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks for the many expressions of sympathies and kindness following our loss at this sad time. A sincere thanks to all who attended her funeral and offered their support, kindness and sympathy over the past month.
