The Irish Government have passed a new law that makes it illegal for the country's indiginous leprechaun population to leave the country, claiming that if the leprechauns begin to leave in search of higher wages, then tourist revenue will drop. Is this a xenophobic measure, or is it a measured way to help the Irish Economy?

Oh I entirely disagree. Leprechauns should have the same rights as all other Irish, not to mention EU citizens; Including the right to travel, work and capitalize on their talents! I am outraged at the Irish Government! As this is a complete violation of all Leprechaun's person rights and freedoms; I think their next step should be to the ECtHR and the ECJ! Good Luck!

I think that either way it doesn't matter. It's totally un-enforceable. Since the development of the rainbow super highway, the Leprechauns have really been able to put their pot of gold where ever they want.
They would do much better if they just offered incentive schemes, like a free pint of Guiness with every new born Leprechaun, or a potato subsidy to keep them happy little Leprechauns.
