About Luke Kelly Sculpture
On Northwall Quay in Dublin's Docklands, the bronze Luke Kelly Sculpture by John Behan captures the Pogues' frontman in mid-song, guitar raised, unveiled in 2019. This vibrant tribute to the North Wall native and Irish folk-punk legend overlooks the Liffey, where Kelly grew up amid docks and dreams.
