In Merrion Square, inside the north west corner gateway, there is a gaudy statue of Oscar Wilde composed of different coloured stone, sitting on a large granite boulder. This has been called at least once The Queer with the Leer, The Fag on the Crag or The Quare in the Square ("quare" being a dialectal Irish pronunciation of queer).](http://infomatique.smugmug.com/photos/177621501_rGX3H-Ti.jpg "infomatique > OSCAR WILDE - MERRION SQUARE

![infomatique > The Great Famine or the Great Hunger
The Great Famine or the Great Hunger (Irish: An Gorta Mór or An Drochshaol), known more commonly outside of Ireland as the Irish Potato Famine, is the name given to a famine in Ireland between 1845 and 1849. The Famine was at least fifty years in the making, and due to the disastrous interaction of British economic policy, destructive farming methods, and the unfortunate appearance of "the Blight" %u2014 the potato fungus that almost instantly destroyed the primary food source for the majority population. The immediate after-effects of The Famine continued until 1851. The number of deaths is unrecorded, and various estimates suggest totals between 500,000 and more than one million in the five years from 1846. Some two million refugees are attributed to the Great Hunger (estimates vary), and much the same number of people emigrated to Great Britain, the United States, Canada, and Australia (see the Irish Diaspora).
The immediate effect on Ireland was devastating, and its long-term effects proved immense, permanently changing Irish culture and tradition. The Irish Potato Famine was the culmination of a social, biological, political and economic catastrophe,](http://infomatique.smugmug.com/photos/177637674_2ZTmc-Ti.jpg "infomatique > The Great Famine or the Great Hunger

Molly Malone
As well as being known and sung internationally, the popular song \'Cockles and Mussels\' has become a sort of unofficial anthem of Dublin city. The song\'s tragic heroine Molly Malone and her barrow have come to stand as one of the most familiar symbols of the capital. In addition, Molly\'s international pulling power is shown by the fact that she scores hundreds of \'hits\' on the Internet, many of them relating to \'Irish pubs\' bearing her name. It seems perfectly natural therefore that Molly should have been commemorated by erecting a statue to her in Dublin, which monument has become a familiar landmark at the corner of Grafton Street and Suffolk Street.
