Luke Kelly statues
Almost €1,500 has been spent so far on cleaning one of the Luke Kelly statues in Dublin.
The tribute on Guild Street has been vandalised six times - and the one near St. Stephen's Green was also targetted last night.

For Guild Street locals, the Luke Kelly statue being vandalised has become an all too familiar sight.
It's happened six times since the tribute to the late Dubliners singer was installed 18 months ago.
White paint was thrown over it last night - and the statue near St. Stephen's Green was also vandalised.
It's believed the two incidents are linked and Gardai are continuing to investigate.
No arrests have been made so far.
