Dublin's Temple Bar is known for its craic agus ceol, but in recent weeks, visitors may have come across a currach too.
The traditional boat has been built in TØN Gallery by artist Mark Redden.
Mr Redden used wood sourced and salvaged in Ireland for the project, including recycled garden furniture.
He said: "Traditionally, when people built a currach, they used what was locally available. Very little would have been imported, it would have all been locally sourced and inherently sustainable.
"This currach is made from wood sourced on the island of Ireland. We have hazel, we have spruce, and we have a little bit of Scots pine in there as well.
"We have also used an old piece of garden furniture that we found in this space. It's iroko, probably from South America. We have used it in parts where we need a harder wood for supporting key joints in the boat."
Dubliner Redden has been building currachs since 2004.
Now based in Barcelona, he has built boats in Norway, Spain and as far away as Tasmania.
In 2012, he collaborated with fellow artist Rosie O'Reilly to construct two currachs which formed the basis of Dublin's first currach club.
His latest build is inspired by Ms O'Reilly's own Achill currach.
She said: "In 2016, I bought a damaged two-handed currach from a Mayo fisherman. It's a beautiful boat and I loved rowing it. But it had a lifespan, as it was damaged already and I had repaired it.
"Mark and I began talking about taking that boat's structure and shape, and building a new boat. That's what has happened. He has done an amazing job building this boat."
The new build has taken place over several weeks, with passers-by peering through the gallery window to get a closer look.
"What we are trying to show is the world of possibility outside the plastic world. That from our local natural resources, we can build a boat that is capable of going to sea. Something of real tradition and value from Irish culture," Mr Redden explained.
The currach, along with works by both artists, is viewable by appointment at the gallery until 15 May.
The boat will be launched in Co Waterford later this year.
"It's a really unique experience to row a currach in the Irish Sea and it will be a dream come true to have this boat on the water," Ms O'Reilly explained.
"She's named after 'An Mór Ríoghain' - the Great Queen and shapeshifter in Irish mythology. I think that a lot of the time you are on the water, it shifts who you are as a terrestrial creature, and it opens up a world of possibility. That's the joy of being on the water in a handmade boat. I'm excited. It will be epic."
