Leprechauns to bail out Government

Leprechauns to bail out Government
Thursday, 1 April 2010 10:38

The Leprechaun community is to give its pots of gold to the Government to help cover the cost of recapitalising the banks.

The financial crisis is expected to cost billions so Taoiseach Brian Cowen and Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan have been looking for ways to ease the burden on taxpayers.

The two men travelled to the ends of the rainbow to persuade Leprechaun leaders to invest in the country's future.

In return for donating the pots of gold to the State coffers, Leprechaun leaders have asked for land in west Clare to create their own reserve.

The final deal was brokered on St Patrick's Day when US President Barack Obama invited Leprechaun leaders to the White House for talks.
