Gardaí investigating criminal damage to the Luke Kelly sculpture in Dublin’s north docks have arrested and charged a man, aged in his 40s. The man was arrested on Monday and detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at Store Street Garda Station. He has since been charged in relation to the incident and is due to appear in court at 10:30am on Tuesday. Meanwhile CCTV cameras are to be installed at the sculpture following repeated vandalism of the art work. The group said the sculpture should “not be moved but protected” and said it had called for the plinth that sits underneath the sculpture to be raised.
