The Cranberries frontwaoman Dolores O’Riordan has been spotted enjoying a cosy night out with a young musician, Ole Koretsky.
The former Voice of Ireland coach – who split from her husband last year – was dining at the Ballsbridge Chinese restaurant Kites with Ole when she was recognised by fellow diners Philip and Sandra Tobin.
“Dolores and Ole were having a great time. They were singing in the restaurant and we got talking to them,” Philip said.

“Some of the other diners weren’t too happy but myself and my wife loved it.”
Pouring her heart out to Philip, the Limerick native opened up to the nightclub promoter about her marriage split to Don Burton – revealing it was one of the factors leading to her arrest over the alleged air rage bust-up last November.
“Dolores is a gorgeous lady, very fragile but so open and honest. She told me some terrible, terrible stuff about what she’s been through,” he said.
“It’s been very tough for her but she seems to be in a better place now. She is certainly very happy and in love with Ole.”

Speaking to the Irish Mirror, Philip said Dolores is relaunching her music career and has started a band with Ole and former Smiths bass player Andy Rourke.
“They were singing some of their new stuff in the restaurant – it sounds amazing,” he admitted.
Philip revealed the group got on so well they continued the party in nearby Mary Mac’s Bar.
“Dolores was in great form and we continued the singsong in the pub. It was brilliant craic and we kept going until 2am,” he divulged.

“We got a photo with Dolores and Ole and the generous chap even gave me his jacket which he bought for $1,000 in Macy’s in New York,
“I laughed and said it was too much and I was too old for it but he insisted. I have given it to my son who is thrilled with it,” he added,
The 43-year-old musician separated from her husband of 20 years Don Burton late last year.
The pair lived together in Canada and have three children.
