Statue of Luke Kelly on Dublin's Sheriff Street. Statue of Luke Kelly on Dublin's Sheriff Street. A 47-YEAR-old man accused of carrying out a graffiti attack on a Luke Kelly statue has been ordered to stay away from sculptures of the legendary Dubliners singer.

He agreed with defence solicitor Jenny McGeever that her client lived the general area of the incident, “not a huge distance from it”. Garda Kelly accepted that no paint residue was found on the clothing seized at his home, but he said the man in the CCTV footage was holding the spray can away from his person.

She submitted that the case was minor and would remain in the district court. Her client did not agree that he committed the offence and had pointed out the clothes were not identical, she said. Granting bail in his own bond of €200, Judge Ryan said the accused enjoyed the presumption of innocence.#Open journalism No news is bad news Support The Journal Your contributions will help us continue to deliver the stories that are important to youThe offence, in its own right was minor, and it was more than likely the DPP will direct trial in the district court, she remarked.
