In 2009 the last surviving 236 leprechauns in Ireland were granted a protection order by the EU in Carlingford Co. Louth.There were millions of leprechauns in Ireland at one time but they died out because people stopped believing in them.
Carlingford holds an annual ceramic Leprechaun Hunt on Sliabh Foy mountain on the first day of summer-time each year to get more people to believe and thus ensure the survival of the 236.
Nobody is allowed to walk on the protected area,which is fenced off to protect the little folk.
100 Ceramic Leprechauns are place in a designated area with rewards under each one.The total value is €2000.
To participate, hunters assemble on the Carlingford Green between 1pm and 2, they purchase hunting licences for €5 and are then led by the pipe band to the mountain gate.
Thousands participated last year.Profits go to Childrens Hospital and local organisations.
