Molly Malone Statue

Overview

The Molly Malone statue stands on Suffolk Street, steps from Trinity College and Grafton Street. Molly Malone herself is a semi-historical, semi-legendary figure immortalized in the beloved ballad “Cockles and Mussels,” a song sung so widely that it’s often treated as Dublin’s unofficial anthem. Her tragic story — and the image of her pushing her barrow — has become one of the city’s most recognizable symbols.
