When she still hadn’t returned after several hours, a friend called police and reported her missing, causing officers to release an alert classifying Sinead, 49, as a “missing suicidal.”

After more than a day, police found Sinead, reporting she was “safe and well” but refusing to divulge where or how they found her.

Just hours before she went missing, Sinead had shared a concerning post on social media that seemed to be directed at her eldest son, Jake.

“Jake, kindly go to the court on Tuesday and take custody your brother from Tusla. My lawyer will be making the illegal way yourself and Donal got him into Tusla (lying to the cops etc) known to the judge,” wrote O’Connor.

“Expect to be in trouble. In fact you’d best bring a lawyer of your own. And do not abandon your brother or any other of my babies again. What you have done to your brother and your mother is LITERALLY criminal.”

There have been fears for Sinead’s health since 2015 when she revealed in a Facebook post that she had taken an overdose.

“There is only so much any woman can be expected to bear,” she wrote. “Well done guys, you’ve finally got rid of me. Sorry the penny didn’t drop sooner. I’m an idiot.”
