Anna Livia Monument

Anna Livia is a bronze monument formerly located on O'Connell Street in Dublin, Ireland.

Commissioned for the Dublin Millennium in 1988, it was designed by Eamonn O'Doherty from Derry. The monument is a personification of the River Liffey (Abhainn na Life in Irish) which runs through the city. Anna Livia Plurabelle is the name of a character in James Joyce's Finnegans Wake who also embodies the river. The river is represented as a young woman sitting on a slope with water flowing past her. She is familiarly known by the people of Dublin as the Floozie in the Jacuzzi, or the Whore in the Sewer (pronounced "Hoo-er" to rhyme with Sewer) among other names.

Originally commissioned by businessman Michael Smurfit in memory of his father, the monument was removed from its site on O'Connell Street in 2001 to make room for the Spire of Dublin. It is due to be located next to the Liffey at an area known as Croppy's Acre.
