Statue of Luke Kelly vandalised for fifth time
Sophisticated new security cameras and illuminating lights are to be placed around an €80,000 statue of the late musician and singer Luke Kelly which has been vandalised for the fifth time in 16 months.
Once again the marble statue located in Sheriff St and designed by artist Vera Klute, was daubed with red paint in the shape of glasses but on this occasion the offensive words, “F..k Luke Kelly” were daubed at the foot of the bust. Kelly was a member of the traditional group, The Dubliners.
