For future Reference, what qualifies as a Leprechaun? Height 5’2″? Male? Female?

So long as they have an irish accent and are wearing a green hat I think its fair game really

Hmmm. Interesting. Does this mean that they have to live in Ireland, be short, and look a little stout with green clovers all over with a pot of gold in his hands to qualify as a Leprechaun? I better stock up on the stew. (in a Paul Reveere Voice) The Leprechauns are coming! The Leprechauns are coming! =)

There are no Leprechauns in Icelandic folklore, there must be somekind of misunderstanding here. Perhaps the confusing is with Ireland because Leprechauns have their origins there. And as I am Icelandic I have never heard of this stupid law before.

Sweetie, this law IS filed under Ireland. Can’t fault you though since Ireland is only one letter different than Iceland.
