Anna Livia Sculpture
Spirit of the river Liffey
O'Connell St
Dublin,

The Anna Livia monument has been a bone of contention for Dubliners since it was erected in 1988. Designed by Eamonn O'Doherty to mark Dublin's own millennium, the gushing water sculpture features the goddess of the river Liffey in a suggestive pose and was immediately christened "the floozy in the Jacuzzi" by general consensus. Today, it is (unfortunately) the popular hang-out for customers of the numerous fast-food restaurants that line this part of O'Connell Street. With the erection of the new Monument of Light in this space, the fountain will shortly be relocated to a new site.
