FILE - This is a Sunday, Oct. 5, 2014 file photo of Irish singer Sinead O'Connor performs during the Italian State RAI TV program "Che Tempo che Fa", in Milan, Italy. O’Connor, long a critic of church and state in Ireland, says she’s joining the Irish nationalist Sinn Fein party _ and wants its leaders to step aside for younger voices free of IRA connections. The 48-year-old singer, who recently released her 10th album ``I’m Not Bossy, I’m the Boss,’’ says Sinn Fein is the only left-wing party able to steer Ireland toward social equality.
