I'd like to keep singing - whether that's small or big. To stop singing for a living would break my heart.

My mum and dad ran a family cafe in Sligo for 35 years and worked long hours. We grew up in a very hard-working family and had a lovely atmosphere, as we lived above the restaurant. It definitely made me want to work hard, whatever I chose to do. As the baby of seven kids, I was definitely a bit spoilt.

I put all my eggs in one basket and invested in property. I didn't do anything internationally - it was all in Ireland.

When I had money, I felt pressure, whether it was to invest it or do good with it, and I couldn't let it fizzle out. It was like I needed to prove to myself that I could look after it, only I did the opposite, but you have to take a chance in life.

Together with a team of financial and legal experts I have spent months exploring all possible alternatives to bankruptcy but to no avail.

I love Ireland. I'll always be 100pc Irish. I get really excited when I go to Sligo; it's my home.

When you realise that money doesn't actually make you happy, it's a quick fix to have things you've always wanted, but then when you have it, you realise that's not what actually makes you happy. It's more about having a great marriage and happy children; that's what life's all about.
