Two statues of singer Luke Kelly were unveiled in Dublin this week to mark the 35th anniversary of his death.

A bronze statue of Kelly performing is situated on South King Street, while a marble design of the singer's head is on his Sheriff Street birthplace.

Breda Brown and Eoghan McDermott discussed this and some of the other stories making the news in The Week Trending.
