About this event

On Saturday, 31st May 2025, the community of Ballybough will come together to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the renaming of the historic Ballybough Bridge as the Luke Kelly Bridge.

This landmark occasion will honour the bridge’s rich history and its connection to one of Dublin’s most beloved musical icons, Luke Kelly of The Dubliners.

The event will feature a live performance by Chris Kavanagh in tribute to Luke Kelly with Niamh Kelly (Luke’s niece), followed by a short history talk by local historian Sean Deegan (Tenement Museum & In the Shadow of Croker walking tours) and a presentation to children in the area.
