Streets Broad and Narrow: Tony Gregory and Molly Malone
Manage episode 478676924 series 2575271
Tony Gregory remains one of the most beloved TD’s in the history of the city. Lately, talk of the Molly Malone monument has reminded me of the story of Gregory’s activism on behalf of Dublin’s largely female street traders, and his comments on the statue of Molly in the late 1980s. Is it time to move her to a more fitting location, where Jeanne Rynhart’s monument might finally be respected?
