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.

Given recent cases of vandalism involving the Hauntings Soldier sculpture in Stephen's Green and the Phil Lynott statue, is there a high risk of these new statues being damaged?

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