Dublin Live understands that dark green paint and brown sauce had been levied at the city centre landmark this week on Saint Andrews Street/ Church Lane. The motive for the vandalism is unclear.

The legend of Molly Malone has spread far and wide, with countless stories being told of her time in Dublin, yet few accounts are as well known as the old folk song named after her.
