Paddy Dunning was good friends with the late singer.
'Sinead O'Connor loved Westmeath'.
That's according to her friend and owner of the National Wax Museum, where a major refurbishment is taking place following the removal of her wax figure after public backlash over its quality.
Paddy Dunning says he is disappointed the piece did not meet their high standards.
He was the first and last person to record her music at Grouse Lodge Studios in Westmeath, before her passing.
Mr Dunning says she had a special connection with the Midlands:
