Original Note:
The Mollie Malone Statue was made to honour the song of the same name. Its not known if Mollie ever existed. The statue is depicted in traditional but revealing dress, hinting at a supposed job as a part time prostitute. The same rubbing can befoul male statues-Victor Noir https://theculturetrip.com/europe/ireland/dublin/articles/a-brief-history-of-the-mysterious-molly-malone https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_rubbing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Noir#Monument
