On 13 June 1988 the Molly Malone statue on Grafton Street was unveiled by then-Lord Mayor of Dublin, Alderman Ben Briscoe during the 1988 Dublin Millennium celebrations. The mayor declared 13 June as Molly Malone Day. The statue became known by Dubliners as "The tart with the cart".

In Dublin's Fair City, some tourists are finding the statue of Molly Malone so pretty that stewards have been hired to protect the famous fishmonger's décolletage. Tourists seem to think rubbing the bronze figure's thrupenny bits will bring them good luck (a legend that dates back to the ancient times of 2012, when a tour guide made up the story). Now, the protective covering has begun to wear away from the bronze, and hiring bodyguards will be cheaper than raising the height of the plinth on which Molly stands. "Molly means a lot to a lot of people. We always use Molly Malone as our anthem, as our slogan, as our story. So she represents all of those things," Dublin City Historian in Residence Catherine Scuffil told RTE News. "A woman, independent means, her own trade, working in the city, you know, we should respect her a bit more."

"Stark" ist sie selbst. Bemerkenswerterweise ist der Name des Mannes, Matt Hyland überliefert, der Name der durchsetzungskräftigen Heldin jedoch nicht. Was soll uns das sagen? Dass er einfach mal unglaublich Glück hatte, sonst nix. Nun keiner der anderen beteiligten ist namentlich genannt. So what? Es ist viel Platz nach oben. Das passierte zum Glück nicht allen irischen Heldinnen.
