Dublin is full of wonderful statues and sculptures. Here is a photo tour of my favourites from my trip to Dublin in October 2009.

Phil Lynott’s statue was unveiled in 2005 in Harry Street, just off Grafton Street. I remember Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzie performing on the TV music show “Top of the Pops”. The singer/bass player died in 1986 at the age of 36.

Just up from the entrance to St Stephen’s Green, opposite the Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre, is what I nicknamed the Tap Sculpture or maybe that should be Pigeon’s Bath.

In Lower Liffey Street, close to Ha’Penny Bridge is the sculpture affectionately know as “The Hags with the Bags”. The women really do like they are engrossed in a good gossip after a shopping expedition.

At the entrance to one of Dublin’s ugliest buildings, The Central Bank, lies the Money Tree sculpture. It made me think of the phrase “money makes the world go around” and thought it appropriate that part of the globe was in the sun and the remainder dark.

I christened the sculpture in the pond at Dublin Castle Gardens, “The Water Prancers”.
