Édaein O’Connell: Why iPads might be the worst thing to happen to Irish mothers since RIP.ie - my mother's funeral-watching calendar can't be interrupted

My mother has a direct link with the portal of death. She enters it every day without fear or trepidation. It’s her north star, her spiritual Google Maps.

No matter her plan of action for the next 24 hours, the veil between worlds brings her back to centre. A day isn’t well spent until she communicates with the beyond. She has a list of ghostly contacts and she uses them well.
