New statue is already shiny from gropings

Just weeks after the monument on Dublin's Suffolk Street received a makeover to return Molly's cleavage to its original hue, its breasts have been polished to a bright sheen once more.

And we can reveal that tourists are clambering over new flower beds to cop a feel just a day after they were installed.

Dublin city chiefs were banking on the obstacle putting people off, but a steady stream of people have been clambering over to get to clutch Molly's assets.
