I don't think I would call Molly's statue "life-sized". Certainly not if you look at the paps of ana rubbed to such a lustrous sheen by thousands (at least) of tourists. Seems to me that one of Frank Harte's song books described her as an entirely mythological creature. A good wee bar bet is "Where is the statue?" I've had more than a few pints from folks who don't believe me when I tell them she stands on Grafton Street. Most tourists think Grafton Street is limited to the slope coming down from the green, but if you look closely at a good Dublin map you'll see that it extends 2 blocks northward from the foot of the slope, to include the location of the "Tart with the cart". Jeez, can't wait to get back.
