      The rest of the internet calls it keening as well. As I understand, keening is used as lament, like with funerals. This song sounds like a lament to me. I'm not saying she didn't also yodel in her performances, but the general consensus seems to be she's keening in this song.

    I saw them in concert in the mid 2000s and they were great. One of the few non metal concerts I ever went to. Her voice live was just phenomenal. She was pitch perfect and powerful. You are right, without her there is no Cranberries. That’s why they didn’t try to do anything after she passed.
    This song is powerful because the band lived through the troubles in Ireland, they lived through the violence of the IRA.

    Fun fact, one aspect of Dolores' singing is called Keening. It's a traditional style/technique of singing/wailing to lament the dead in Ireland & Scotland.
    So with the theme of this song mourning the victims of an IRA bombing, all the inflections & style choices fit so well. Dolores had a very unique voice, even in Ireland. It was weird, which is why most of us adore her.

England maintained control in whole or part thru mid 1641. English control was strongest in the North where lands were given to Eng Nobility as early as 12th cent.
      When Henry VIII left Catholic Chruch, religious suppression Ireland incled English & Irish Catholics there.
      Ulster rebellion in 1641 inclded Ireland's Galic & English Catholics took back part of Ireland, But Cromwell landed & put Ireland to the torch & sword. Now religious antipathy is added to the political.
      His hatred of Catholics led to up 30- 50% of Irish inhabitants being killed in 10 yrs. Most remaining Irish Catholics refuse to take oath to Eng & renounce their Faith. 50K sent to Brit colonies, the rest resettled in the poor lands of Connaught & lands given to English by the 1652 Acts of Settlement. Catholic Faith is outlawed, those caught at illegal Mass were tortured & hung, then drawn & quartered.
      Irish War of Independece, 1921-22, regains Irish Republic. English Northern MPs, allowed to vote Irish or English rule, choose England, & many Catholics Irish & English w Land & fam, now N. Ireland who stayed felt growingly disenfranchised & discriminated against. THIS antipathy led 1960s "campaign to end their discrimination". Loyalists saw as a front for Irish unification. This led to the Troubles & well documented bloody actions & reactions of IRA & Loyalists militia, until the 98 Good Friday Peace .
      All to say if the Irish were pagan or atheist the Troubles were gonna happen. It was a political fight w two nationslist groups of "different" religions.

    The back story behind this song is incredible. I'm not religious, but I really pray that the peace in Northern Ireland can be maintained.
    Also, Dolores O'Riordan was not just one of the greatest female voices in Rock, she was too an incredible multi-instrumentist who played electric/acoustic guitar, tin whistle, church organ, keyboard, piano, mandoline, etc. She was as well the main songwritter of the band.
