Lady on the Rock (statue)

Originally made as a clay model by artist Harold Gardiner around 1993, it was then cast in fibreglass by Edward Loughman of RPM Supplies.

Loughman subsequently sold the cast to Vincent Doran of Dublin Mouldings.

Since then the statue has been produced and sold by Dublin Mouldings, a shop and workshop on Parnell Street.

[1][2] The popularity of the statue has led to many theories emerging about the significance of the Lady.

[3] Some have suggested that the presence of the statue in a window marks a brothel, that drugs are available for sale, or that protection money has been paid by the resident.
