"Dublin City Council do not want anyone to touch any work of art whether indoors or outdoors to avoid damage and costly repairs," a spokesperson said.

However, [The council] said that these options (moving the statue/raising the plinth) would be "costly", adding that placing a railing around the artwork "may increase risk".

So it would be be less costly to just leave it? I swear, this subject is not indecent enough to warrant this amount of attention, resources, nor effort. Please work on something else.

What costly repairs would a bronze that's touched more require?

Skin oils alone will corrode various metals over years. Also, lots of touching will basically erode it, hence the "polished" look on the statue's entire cleavage
