Did you know IRELAND’S only leprechaun whisperer is Kevin Woods from Co Louth. He can communicate with the remaining 236 leprechauns.
He first encountered leprechauns in the Cooley Mountains over two decades ago.
And he’s since introduced thousands of tourists to the trickster fairies famous for their pots of gold.
He explained: “The last leprechauns of Ireland were discovered in Carlingford 28 years ago.
“A local publican PJ O’Hare found the suit and bones on the mountain.
“It was some years later that I saw leprechauns.
“There’s 236 left who came from different parts of Ireland.
“There were billions of them in Ireland but they all died out.
“They’re actually spirits who manifest themselves to me as leprechauns. You may see them as angels or ghosts or whatever.
“I see them as the traditional leprechaun with the green hat and suit with gold buttons."
“They don’t tell me anything — it’s more a feeling of happiness.
“I sit with them and I listen to their music and often dance with them in my heart.”
