I’m amazed people aren’t embarrassed doing this. Imagine if there was a publicly shaming sign too next to it.
Isn’t this a thing around the world? Like, some statues bring good luck if you rub a part of it?
Rubbing Molly brings back such happy mammaries for me..
You now feel offended for inanimate objects being touched inappropriately?
This is like the resurgence of the catholic faith, just under a different guise.
Might not be a question for this sub but was there not a specific reason people rubbed her breasts relating to an old tradition of rubbing the genitals of a statue for luck?
Its a statue, calm the fuck down.
I’ve always felt it highlighted the toxic way women are treated in this country. Whilst things have improved in recent years to a degree, we still have a long way to go
She was groped by a tourist,
Becos she looked heure-ish.
And that was the end for sweet Molly Malone.
Now she’s up on a piller.
Where we cannot feel-er.
Crying cuckolds from Brussels.
A live a live oh.
It’s a shite statue
>A: We need a statue of a fictional historical character, Molly Malone
>B: OK, ok, wheelbarrow obviously, maybe some shellfish baskets. Anything else?
>A: Large breasts/cleavage completely out of step with any historical context – think “Barbara Windsor – Carry on Fishmonging”
As for
>Dublin City Council is “strongly considering” her request
Keeping it on file, in a filing cabinet no doubt
I look forward to looking up her dress instead.
Imagine thinking this was an issue that needed to be addressed. We have one of the most inefficient incompetent outfits in the country running Dublin , but they can find time and resources for this.
Tilly Cripwell, the busker and wouldbe protector of this statue sounds like a serious crank.
BOOO!
No good can come from putting a woman on a pedestal. Take it from someone who knows.
Now she can be elevated to sainthood like Brigid 😂. Molly, patron saint of… Cockles/prostitution. Might as well put up Maria Bailey and Joan Burton up on a pedestal while we’re at it. This is just American DEI being imported, ultra left wing nonsense for virtue signalling. Having art at the pedestrian level makes it interactive, which allows tourists to take nice photos.
The council will have limited money allocated to public artworks, it shouldn’t be wasted on DEI. Instead we should get more artwork, for example a statue of Queen Medb or some other significant cultural figures.
There are still prominent British-era monuments to imperialism in Dublin but the council don’t have the time or the funds to remove those…
Bunch of prudes
I watched clips of a Marina Abramović performance art, where she stood there for hours and didn’t stop people when they interacted with her. It was awful. In a way, I feel that poor Molly Malone statue is another version of that performance art.
Yes it’s just a statue, but it does reflect how a lot of people would treat a woman if she couldn’t say no.
1984
Grabbed them jugs as a young teen. Harmless stuff
Challenge accepted.
People saying it’s a women’s rights issue are idiots and you’re just trivialising violence towards actual women and making feminism look stupid.
The same oafish groping of statues happens with lots of other ones, male and female. This isn’t some sign of how women in Ireland are treated. Even if you are trying to link this behaviour to attitudes in Ireland…the VAST majority of people you see groping this statue are tourists.
Summary: Everyone involved is an idiot.
Not exactly the biggest issue we’re facing, and that money would be better off going to a woman’s refuge or something of the sorts. That being said, I do find the whole “tradition”, and the people who do it, quite strange
What weirdo creeps touch a statues boobs or genitals? You should be preemptively put on the sex offenders registry if caught doing that.
That’ll be 50 million please thanks
So Tilly is upset that a statue is more popular than her.
Popular tourist attraction that is touched for luck is being removed because silly Tilly is offended.
This is not going to go well when anyone from Philadelphia visits.
Good. I’m into feet and it was hurting my back having a sniff
Be cheaper if they wielded on a snood.
They should learn from Glasgow… pedestals do nothing when faced with the will of the people!
Apropos of nothing, Tilly is one of those upper middle class English names where you can almost guarantee the bearer of it is insufferable. Harriet is another one.
You’ve definitely met the type abroad on their gap yahr before they go to Durham University or Warwick to read French and Psychology.
They say once you’ve rubbed Molly’s boobs, you’re never the same again.
Large tourist attraction versus outraged gobshite looking for attention.
No doubt DCC will do the wrong thing and give into her.

We have children with scoliosis on waiting lists for treatment so long that their conditions have become inoperable. We’re experiencing the highest levels of homelessness ever seen in this country. We have dangerous criminals free to roam our streets because we do not have spaces in prison for them but people are worried about a pair of fucking copper tits. Jesus.fucking.chris!!!
A commemorative plaque explaining significance and legacy??? We don’t know who she was or if she even existed. Is it just gonna be song lyrics?
Unless it’s destroying or damaging the statue, it’s a waste of tax money.
The projected views of discriminationary behaviour is absurd, there are literally hundreds if not thousands of examples where local superstitions include touching areas on a statue for various reasons… I’d challenge anyone to present a shred of evidence or hard data and the superstitious behaviour has any correlation or causation with those that assault people.
Stick a camera and a screen up nearby that rotates though images of lads groping the statue instead
Local Roman carving rubbed for reasons 2000 years old. The written rock of gelt. Check out the 3D 😅

With the way OPW spends money, I look forward to the 2m plinth they build so tourists can’t rub a statue ….. Jesus Christ
Boom times ahead for the short term step ladder rental industry.
Any man who gropes the a statue of a woman is a man who would grope, perhaps even rape an actual woman if they could get away with it. They should install cameras around this statue to name and shame the degenerates that walk among us.
