Molly Malone is the legendary fish seller featured in the Irish folk song "Cockles and Mussels." Celebrated annually on June 13 as Molly Malone Day, she is a symbol of Dublin's working-class heritage. While historians debate whether she was a real person, her story lives on through the famous song and the Molly Malone statue in Dublin.
