Two statues of musician Luke Kelly in Dublin have been vandalised.

The bust of the singer on Sheriff Street in the north inner city was vandalised for the sixth time in 18 months.

Another statue, which is at St Stephen's Green Shopping Centre was also vandalised overnight, seemingly for the first time.

Ivan was joined by Ray Yeates, Dublin City Arts Officer and John Coll, the sculptor of the statue on South King Street, and historian Lorcan Collins of the 1916 Rebellion Tour.
