He writes:<\/p>\n<p>As well as being known and sung internationally, the popular song &#8216;Cockles and Mussels&#8217; has become a sort of unofficial anthem of Dublin city. The song&#8217;s tragic heroine Molly Malone and her barrow have come to stand as one of the most familiar symbols of the capital. In addition, Molly&#8217;s international pulling power is shown by the fact that she scores hundreds of &#8216;hits&#8217; on the Internet, many of them relating to &#8216;Irish pubs&#8217; bearing her name. It seems perfectly natural therefore that Molly should have been commemorated by erecting a statue to her in Dublin, which monument has become a familiar landmark at the corner of Grafton Street and Suffolk Street. Let us now travel back in time to see what we can find out about the real Molly Malone.<\/p>\n<p>Read the rest of his story here:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/homepage.eircom.net\/~seanjmurphy\/irhismys\/molly.htm\">http:\/\/homepage.eircom.net\/~seanjmurphy\/irhismys\/molly.htm<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Molly_Malone\"><\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to Sonnet Simmons for her wonderful vocal on Molly Malone.
