Replaced “under the horses head” outside the old Brown Thomas as my spot for meeting friends in town. “Meet me at the tart” was the new one. Things were different before mobile phones. Very different, considering I was getting on a bus to meet friends in town and knock around the shops at the age of 10. Never a problem as long as I was home for dinner.

It’s a created thing. Started by tour guides around 2012 / 13. Presumably as a nod to kissing the Blarney Stone or other traditions. They just made it up and said it’s good luck.

Too early for tarnishing

That suicidal tendencies tshirt !
They put a ring of Holly bushes in front of the statue a few weeks ago to stop people getting up on the statue. They just destroyed the bushes.
No Internet back then.
People used to feel the knockers of real life women when shifting at the disco.
Used to be a (Spanish?) dude there who did cool spray can pics of planets with pyramids scifi stylee
Please let that awesome girl in the Suicidal Tendencies shirt be on this sub somewhere!!! 90s me would’ve been in love at first sight

Thats the top of Grafton street.
It takes a while for the metal to fatigue and change colour..
Back then people believed in moving statues, they were probably afraid that Molly might grope back
