THIS HAS BEEN VANDALISED MANY TIMES
The Luke Kelly statue at Guild Street, located in Dublin's north inner city, has faced challenges since its unveiling in 2019. The bronze sculpture, created by artist Vera Klute, honours the renowned Irish folk singer and member of The Dubliners.
While the statue was previously targeted by vandals on multiple occasions, these incidents have not been reported recently. Notably, in 2020, a man was sentenced for throwing paint on the statue. Despite these past challenges, the statue remains a significant tribute to Luke Kelly and his contribution to Irish music.
Nearby, the old lifting bridge, the Sheriff Street Lifting Bridge, stands as a testament to Dublin's industrial past. Once a crucial part of the city's infrastructure, it facilitated the movement of barges and other vessels along the Royal Canal, while also accommodating road traffic. Although no longer operational, the bridge remains a recognisable feature of the landscape, reminding us of the area's rich industrial and maritime history.
