THE MEETING PLACE
The sculpture itself, officially titled 'Meeting Place', is the work of Jackie McKenna, unveiled in 1988 to commemorate Dublin's millennium. It depicts two women pausing from their shopping, their bags set aside. The popular nickname, 'Hags with the Bags', although sometimes deemed disrespectful, has become deeply ingrained in the city's lexicon. It reflects, for many, an affectionate familiarity.
