Maybe install a lucky charm object near by that is specifically designed to be rubbed ?
Then spread a rumour that it’s magic and will bring you great luck if you get a rub off it!
Just don’t get the OPW to do it or it’ll cost 2 billion.
oh jesus would these people give it a rest you grab the statue the way you do for good luck relax people
RIP flowers
We used to be a real country
The story that just never ends , eh.
Maybe ignore it. Who gives a shit? Every statue in Europe has polished balls or tits. This gets way too much focus.
The best part of this news is for taxpayers, as there’ll be a few less tax munchers.
„Dublin City Council will no longer employ stewards to stop tourists from groping the Molly Malone statue“
Install gun turrets that’ll shoot any would be pervert
Won’t make a difference……….the portal has planters near it, but people still touch the screen.
Just electrify the statue,hook it up to the mains
That will learn em
Is this really the most pressing problem the council has to deal with? Really?
It’s a fucking statue
Oh will ya ever fuck off with this shite. And can we deport that busker already?
They really need to get over this.
There are actual people affected by real crimes that don’t get this level of interest or attention.
If someone steps on the flowers to get to the statue, will it be worse that they damaged a living thing or touched an inanimate piece of bronze?
Get a grip you cant molest a statue , what next ???
Just heard about this on the news. It’s ridiculous. The whole thing is a (fairly recent) tradition and a bit of feckin fun. People take it much too seriously.
Paddwhackery in its rawest purest form. We think we’ve moved on from The Moving Statues era but we haven’t really. The fact that the council entertains this crap is just wrong.
Oh good.
Now there will be statue rubbing, surrounded by a bed of trampled.flowers.
Progress.
Nice little area for addicts to dump their needles like nearly every green space in the city.
Sure, flowers will stop’m.
The only person who’s ever harmed the statue is that bint who keeps painting over the chest and complaining to the papers?
Why hasn’t she gotten trouble for that? She’s the vandal here
Won’t somebody think of the children
There’s bigger all else to do in Dublin.
let them touch it ffs. St. Peters foot in the Vatican is rubbed flat over the centuries
Molest? A statue?
Slow news day, what a load of cock ..
I mean… it’s a Feckin statue seriously molesting WTF is wrong with people
Can we maybe get ‘molesting’ of actual residents (my senses certainly feel molested whenever I have to go into town) under control, before we start raising hell over perhaps a tad immature for some, but ultimately harmless, thing? Just around two corners from there (Dame St., near what used to be Ulster Bank I think), there’s a spot that’s reeked of piss every time for as long as I can remember, and I’d be surprised if there weren’t a few sleeping bags or tents here and there.
Can we not do the bare minimum to keep the place tidy, as one of the “richest” countries in Europe (/ the world)? Quotes used for a reason, but even if we’re just rich on paper, let’s at least look the part 🤣
Ah would ye ever just leave the tourists have an aul feel and cop on.
I think everyone involved would agree to a Euro per grope, it could go to the widows and orphans
Edit: it’s in the song anyway: “In Dublin’s fair city, where the girl has bronze titties…”
They’re obviously flat out
Who gives a fuck?
We should get some placards and have a candle lit vigil for Molly 😇😇
Fine. Back to the blow up doll.
Absolutely ridiculous! Who the fuck cares about this ?
Should plop her ontop of the Spire alongside anyone in the council that’s been paid with taxpayer money to think about solutions to this.
They better put poison ivy’s as those flowers wont be stopping me.
I’d be incredibly curious to know the budget spent to put together an expert team to figure out a solution of a irrelevant problem
You know what? Street’s getting a new flower bed out of it, so not bad
Who cares? The bill for these flowers is going to be somewhere in the range of €200,000 probably as well. Focus on the real issues of the people
