Young people will be interested in sculptor Dorothy Cross's Ghost Ship which is on view in Scotsman's Bay, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin, until next Sunday. For the project, a decommissioned lightship has been anchored in the bay just outide Dun Laoghaire's East Pier. It has been covered in luminous paint and is illuminated at night so that it glows and fades. The project is based on the artist's childhood memories of her father's love of the sea.

Ghost Ship won the Nissan Art Project, which is organised by the Museum of Modern Art. The project was devised in 1997 and For Dublin by Frances Hegarty and Andrew Stones which presented neon texts from Molly Bloom's Ulysses monolgoue in nine city centre locations.
