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.

Leprechauns need to eat, too.

I think somebody made this up. I am Irish and we don’t really believe in leprechauns.

Leave a comment and discuss this stupid law!
