Dolores O'Riordan is best known for being in The Cranberries.
Eileen described the moment she saw her daughter at Shannon garda station following the arrest: “Dolores was inside in a room, she was lying on the floor, curled up. She had her head covered and her face covered up.
"She was trying to protect herself. I gave her a hug. I tried to talk to her. She didn’t realise I was there at all. I put Lourdes water on her… She didn’t know who I was, she was trying to cover herself from me."
As for the incident itself, Eileen believes that Dolores was provoked: "She had two glasses of wine with her dinner when she started off but she had no alcohol or drugs in her system. That is completely clear.
"She was accompanied by a producer and songwriter. I believe there were people hassling her to sing and for photographs on the plane. She just lost it."
Earlier this week it was reported that The Cranberries singer (43), who was later released without charge, had assaulted an air hostess and garda during an air rage incident.Explore more on these topics:
