At approximately 4.15a.m. on the 10th May 2013 two males pushed over a statue of Phil Lynott on Harry Street (off Grafton Street), causing it substantial damage. Both males left the area on foot in the direction of Grafton Street and onto Wicklow Street.
They are thought to be aged in their 20s and described as - one wearing white shirt/tie, trousers/jeans and with short dark hair, second male wearing navy/dark jacket, tight hair, heavy build.
