Who is deirdre morrissey

People were trying to make me laugh but I had nothing to laugh about, so I just cut family and friends out of my life. It took a good six months before I started to think that maybe I would come out the other end of this.

I started to feel that this horrible nightmare would finish the day I finished radiotherapy. And it did. Speaking about the experience, Deirdre Morrissey, who has been with her boyfriend Rory for four years, said: "As a couple we already live very publicly through social media, we've entered reality competitions and exposed ourselves through my sex features with the Sunday Independent LIFE magazine.

I'm from Dungarvan, a small town where my mum owns the local pub and when my sex features were published she was horrified; I think she was hiding from the neighbours.

Because sex is such a visceral, intimate and emotive subject people usually shy away from discussions about it. But I don't like these old taboos and I believe that for a society to be truly healthy people should be able to discuss everything with impunity. She added: "Sex can be beyond the physical, it can transport us into another magical world where everything is perfect for a moment.
