Molly Malone has - quite literally - wheeled her wheelbarrow. The world-famous statue is being moved from the bottom of Dublin's Grafton Street.

She will pitch her cart outside the Failte Ireland tourism office on St. Andrew's Street for the duration of Luas works in the area.

The Railway Procurement Agency (RPA) says Molly will be moved back to as close to her original position as possible, once the link-up is complete.

The statue was unveiled at the Grafton Street location by then-Lord Mayor of Dublin, Ben Briscoe during the 1988 Dublin Millennium celebrations.

Molly Malone was a semi historical/legendary figure - who was commemorated in the song 'Cockles and Mussels'.

She worked as a fishmonger but also as a working girl and died in one of the outbreaks of cholera.
