The museum will certainly pocket a lot of money from the americans.
Great if it makes money and provides jobs.

I like this idea. It will create jobs and gives the customer(yanks) what they want.

Let us go one further. When I visit Prague, I nearly always visit their "sex museums". Purely for the novelty, although it has since rubbed off.

Prague, and indeed large swathes of eastern europe, are popular for a number of reasons. Cheap beer, nice scenery, culture and cheap women. By that I mean "escorts".

Ireland has one of the highest number of escorts, per capita, when compared to the rest of the EU. Lets take advantage of that. Regulate the bollocks out of the industry, tax it to phuc, and make it a selling point(without advertising). Make the industry legitimate. The state cannot beat it, so lets tax it and make money.

Charge "escorts" a flat rate of tax to operate within the law. Introduce health tests every three months. Issue them with a licence to ply thier trade.

I would never use a brasser due to moral reasons, but I wouldnt look down on somebody who did. Whatever two adults get upto in their own time is none of my business.

Lets make some cash out of it.

I never thought I'd agree with IrishManSiapan, but this is bang on the money.

Sure its only "illegal" because the RCC don't like it. And we all know they don't like wimmenz anyway.

As I was getting at, we don't particularly have anything to draw people to this fair isle anymore, the "cead mille failte" has been replaced with a "What the **** do you want" attitude.

How cringeworthy is this? A leprechaun museum is opening soon in Dublin. It will feature a real crock of gold, a rainbow and rain effects.

I suppose if it fleeces the yank tourists for some dosh and - let's face it - any dosh coming into this crumbled and battered economy is welcome.

Would you want to visit for a bit of Paddywhackery?:D

Tis open - was there on Saturday! €10 in... however, I'd really suggest waiting 3 or 4 weeks because they're still getting stuff done. They have a good bit of work to do on it.

Well, I hold out against hope that it'll be a bit more serious than it sounds. A museum to folklore in general would be really interesting.

The above is what it is alright. Yes it deals with some of the pop culture references of the leprechaun but the museum itself is there to promote the strong irish tradition of story telling.

The official opening isnt actually until the 15th April but the majority of people through the doors so far have been irish and its going down very well with them. Especially the kids.

It's fun, they don't take themselves too seriously.
It's interesting, they tell Irish folklore stories.
It's tasteful, there's no short person hopping around dressed like this

Instead of moaning about "Ah,to be sure,to be sure...Begorrah,etc.." try going to it.
Who knows, you might even enjoy yourself.

This is a typical American tourist attraction and it truly is ridiculous. How can the people that go to these museums still believe leprechauns exist.

Everyone knows they've been extinct since the famine. geez....
