A video of a group of tourists groping the Molly Malone statue’s breasts in Dublin, Ireland, has sparked a heated debate about the appropriateness of touching statues “for good luck.”
Shared by @beyoncegarden on X (formerly Twitter), the video shows six men and a woman taking turns to touch the bronze artwork in the Irish capital. One of them, wearing a St. Patrick’s Day hat, stands behind the sculpture and grabs its breasts with both hands.
“This is so weird and disgusting like it’s just sad,” the user captioned the clip, which has been viewed over 48 million times.
