I come from a loud family - but I have to admit the girls are much louder than the boys.

My extended childhood family was loud and extroverted, delighting in boisterous arguments. My children, their spouses, and my husband are articulate but introverted. A quiet life is better for my disposition and psyche.

I agree that the statue is real. But whether it's based on a real person is ... difficult to prove, to say the least. *shrug*

But personally, I don't think it matters if she wasn't a real person. She stands for lots and lots of real Irish fishwives who were strong and resilient and never gave up, and that's more important.
