ANNA LIVIA HAS GOT HERSELF A FASCINATOR [THE CROPPIES MEMORIAL PARK]
Anna Livia is a bronze monument formerly located on O'Connell Street in Dublin. Officially the story is that the monument was removed from its site on O'Connell Street in 2001 to make room for the Spire of Dublin but it fact it was moved to storage because it attracted much anti-social behaviour as well as litter resulting from the use of nearby fast-food outlets.
She is familiarly known by the people of Dublin as the Floozie in the Jacuzzi,or the Whore in the Sewer (pronounced hoo-er to rhyme with sewer) among other names
