Dia Duit to everyone,

Rory Memorial in Dublin

(with thanks to Del):

A MEMORIAL to legendary rock and blues musician Rory Gallagher has been given the green light by Dublin City Council.

A life-size bronze replica of Gallagher's famous paint-stripped Fender stratocaster guitar is to be erected on a wall in Temple Bar in honour of the famous Donegal-born musician.

The city council has decided to grant planning permission following a two-year planning wrangle.
The street where the archive is located has been officially renamed Rory Gallagher Corner and the building bears the street name.
The building is owned by Temple Bar Properties but is leased by the OPW to the National Photographic Archive, which is part of the National Library.
Concerns by the National Library that the site may become a shrine to Gallagher with fans drawing graffiti on the gable wall were dismissed by the project promoter Mark Walsh.
Mr Walsh lodged the planning application at the end of October on behalf of Dublin's music equipment stores and has just been informed that permission has been granted.

"Rory was our first international rock star who paved the way for Thin Lizzy and U2. He is still highly respected internationally and the Fender strat guitar was his trademark," he said yesterday.

Donal Gallagher, Rory's only brother and his former manager, said he was very happy at the city council decision and that he would support the project in any way he could.

In its decision the council said the bronze guitar would be fixed to the wall below the existing Rory Gallagher Corner place name.

The planning application contained detailed sketches of the monument.

The giant Fender corporation has agreed to bankroll the cost of the bronze monument along with the city's music equipment stores.

Rory Gallager is regarded by many as the greatest ever electric blues guitarist and his music has attracted a legion of new young fans.

An anthology of Gallagher's music released last year went plantinum in many countries. The cover of the CD features the guitar which will be replicated at the Temple Bar monument. Gallagher died in 1995 after contracting a virus following a liver transplant. He is buried in Cork wHere he grew up.

A bronze statue of Dublin rock star Phil Lynott off Grafton St has become a magnet for his many fans.
