This advert surfaced yesterday on DoneDeal, an Irish website that allows users to sell new and old goods.

The user from Cavan claims to have a Money Bush that produces currency after their father drove over a leprechaun in their front yard in 1968, killing and burying him, planting a rose bush at the grave.

The article which can be viewed by href="http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/farmproduce/3910981">clicking here goes on to say:

“7 years to the day after the leprechaun was buried a crisp green one pound note appeared on the bush. My father put it in the poor box on Sunday and said nothing of it. The next year and for all the subsequent years, the bush flowered with more and more notes,changing to the Euro with the rest of the country.

“My poor father died last year and, because he always gave the money from the Money Bush to charity, he had nothing to leave us. Now we are in trouble with the old mortgage and need to raise a bit of cash. We don’t want to take the money for ourselves, as our father warned us with his dying breath that we would be cursed if we did, so we are putting it up for sale. We’re fairly sure if you had nothing to do with the death of the leprechaun, you’ll be alright.

“Must be collected.”
