Council chiefs hope new move will stop tourists groping Molly Malone statue
Dublin City Council chiefs are now hoping that installing flowerbeds around the Molly Malone statue will be enough to stop tourists from groping it – after the move had success in other parts of the city. Ray Yeates, Arts Officer for Dublin City Council, said that when plant pots were put in front of the Portal, it stopped punters from touching it. When asked if he felt the move would be enough to put an end to the behaviour, he told the Irish Mirror: 'I don't know is the short answer to it. 'It worked very well for us at the Portal when we used flower planters to stop people from touching the Portal. We're certainly going to try this and see how it works.' The decision to axe the stewards in favour of flowerbeds was first revealed by the Irish Mirror on Tuesday. In April, it had been announced that stewards would patrol around the famous statue for a week on a pilot basis from the start of May. As part of the pilot programme, the wardens stood adjacent to the statue, located outside St Andrew's Church, and intervened if any tourists went to feel her bust. But on Tuesday, Dublin City Council said it believes the groping of the sculpture is 'ingrained' into sightseers and something tourists just do as part of their trip while in the capital. Council bosses acknowledged that when the marshals were in place, people would cooperate, but once they were gone, the Suffolk Street effigy would be groped again. Mr Yeates added: 'It's a difficult one because people will want to make statues not that accessible to the public, but it's just something we're going to have to manage and it's in a very popular part of the city.' Rubbing the famous fishmonger's breasts for luck is believed to have been thought up by a cheeky tour guide in 2012.

When told some people believe there are more important issues in the city to tackle, Mr Yeates said: 'Given the amount of public interest in it, I think it probably is seen to be an important issue.' Meanwhile, Dublin City Councillor Cat O'Driscoll said the move will inject colour into an otherwise grey area and help detract gropers. The Social Democrats councillor said: '[Flowerbeds] would be a nice barrier that brings colour and biodiversity to a grey enough area.'
