Ireland AM's Muireann O'Connell describes heartbreaking trolling after dad's death

Ireland AM star Muireann O'Connell has said that she was heartbreakingly trolled online after her dad's death.

On a recent episode of her podcast, the Virgin Media presenter opened up about the online hate she received after her dad's funeral and the following months. On the show, Muireann told co-host Emma Doran on their And Another Thing! podcast that she was with her beloved mum when she received hate for the way she acted after her father passed away.

Muireann explained: "It was the middle of Covid, with miserable weather, all that stuff and I remember like three messages vividly in my head about how I was a disgrace and I didn't know how to grieve properly and that my father would be ashamed of me.
