They were taken down during the summer, after concerns were raised that they may depict slave women.

I m Very Pleased The Statues Are Back - McCartan
The bronze statues were put back on their plinths at the corner of St. Stephen s Green last night.

It was feared that two of them depicted Nubian slaves, from a region in Ancient Egypt.
