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.
