Statues in Dublin (and very fine they are too)
Tart with the Cart ..... Molly Malone of the song
Hags with the Bags ..... Two ladies shopping
Floozie in the Jacuzzi... A woman (Anna Livia - Of James Joyce) in a tub with fountain
Fag on the Crag ..... Oscar Wilde
Dick with the Stick ..... James Joyce
I googled to get Anna Livia's name and was reminded that Molly is also known as "The dish with the fish". And also found out that a lift (sorry - elavator) they have installed on a chimney stack is now known as "the flue with the view".
http://www.rootsweb.com/~fianna/travel/dubltour.html has pictures of some of the statues.
