Breast not to touch: Dublin orders tourists to leave Molly Malone alone

Touching the breasts of the city's famous statue is supposed to bring luck, but not everyone is happy with the tradition

Each time a tourist sidled up to the statue and reached for the most famous cleavage in Dublin, a voice called out: No touching please."

Two city council stewards stood vigil over the landmark on Tuesday to notify would-be gropers that Molly Malone was to be left alone. After years of supposedly bringing good luck to whomever touched the breasts, they were now off-limits.
