Molly Malone Statue

This guide to the Molly Malone statue in Dublin traces the fishmonger of the famous ballad, a figure historians have never been able to match to any real seventeenth-century woman, and how Dublin's Millennium Committee still gave her a date of death and unveiled this statue on Grafton Street in 1988. It covers sculptor Jeanne Rynhart's low-cut design and the row it sparked with the Arts Council, and the 2014 tram works that moved her to Suffolk Street, where she stands now.
