A CLEAN BREAST

DUBLIN'S famous Molly Malone statue has got a boob job - to repair the damage done by groping hands.

The newly refurbished Molly was unveiled to the public yesterday with a new layer of coating.

The work has restored some of the work's modesty after Molly's breasts were rubbed to a bright shine by photo trophy hunters.

Last week, the iconic statue was boarded off while it underwent “essential maintenance” due to damage, Dublin City Council said.

Now, tourists and Dubliners alike are already flocking back to take photos with the famous Dublin art work, created in 1988 by Irish sculptor Jeanne Rynhart.
