Laughable. Genuinely one of the most ridiculous things DCC have come up with. Its a fucking statue.
April fools surely
Once again, an artist telling the public how to engage with their work. Just as with the ill-fated portal.
As for the council, would it not be cheaper to just erect a fence around it? Than having to hire extra staff on an ongoing basis?
Is this in response to that braindead article crying about people groping it that was written by some local student ffs
God, I wish!
Full time job. Plenty of fresh air. An excuse to yell at tourists. Full pension.
Send me the job application when it comes out on April 2nd.
There is a lot of joy to be gained by shouting “GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER TITS” at unassuming Yanks as they pose for their gropey pictures.
Is there anything to be said for electrifying Molly Malone?
Tbh if this is legit and given it was posted few days ago it’s possible, it’s absurd and a waste. Is touching her tits crass, yes! Put up a sign or something
I can’t think of a better way to spend public funds in Dublin city
Know how you know it’s not real, it’s doesn’t say the Gardaí will be doing it’s wasting resources, chance of slander
DCC need to get their priorities straight
The streets are absolutely filthy and have not been washed in months. Even places like Grafton street are covered in layers of grime. We have litter everywhere as well as derelict and boarded up buildings everywhere.
I actually feel embarrassed to see tourists walking around in Dublin. They spend a LOT of money to come visit here and then they are greeted with dirty grimey streets.
Meanwhile DCC are talking about hiring people to stop tourists from touching a statues boobs…. why? How about you hire some guys with power hoses to clear up the busiest pedestrian streets that would be something actually fucking useful.
I once saw a junkie reach down the crack of his own pants, come back up hand covered in his own shit, and then he smeared it all over Molly’s cleavage.
Don’t know why people want to grab the statue knowing what’s all over it.
The contrarian in me now wants to go get a picture with Molly while the stewards are there and tell them to do one if they say anything.
I say “contrarian” even though these measures don’t seem popular at all and it’s only a few no hopers with no life pushing for them.
The 21st century equivalent of saying rosaries for “groping” sinners.
I thought Johnny Somali was still in Korea.
How will they find that many people called Steward?
DCC should be gutted from the inside out. Far too many useless middle managers bringing shite like this to the priority table when the city’s services and infrastructure are falling into disrepair.
What legal obligation is there to *not* touch a statue ?
I’d be inclined to tell the steward to get fucked if they tried to stop me touching a public statue.
I’m no legal expert, but I reckon they’d need to fence it off before there’d be any legal reason I couldn’t touch it ? Because I’d have to ‘trespass’ in order to touch it …
Anyway, this is a stupid issue.
There’s a reel doing the rounds on Instagram of an American woman showing videos of people posing with a voiceover bemoaning that the woman in the statue was obviously an extremely powerful and inspiring woman, and that her legacy has been degraded by the groping. Oblivious that’s it’s a statue of a fictional fishmonger. Bizarre virtue signalling but it’s gotten her a lot of engagement I guess.
One of the better April fools pranks as nobody knows if it’s real or not 😅
Fricken Tilly Cripwell, ruining all our brass-groping fun
DCC would rather protect a statue than real women
They’d want to be more concerned with the junkies openly shooting heroin behind the statue
Student Union politics again, its great that there is literally nothing else going on that needs to be addressed in the city.
What exactly are these ‘stewards’ going to do if they catch someone groping the statue? Tell them to stop? Ok, what if they don’t? Is that when the attack dogs are deployed to go for the offenders’ cocks and muscles?
