- The leipreachan is the fairies shoemaker. It is said that he has a purse known as "sparán na sgillinge".
There was a man coming home one night. He was passing by a lot of trees and he saw a leipreachan sitting under one of them. He stole in to him and caught him. "Give me your gold" said the man to him. I have no gold said the leipreachan but my wife has it, she is behind your back now. The man looked and as soon as he did the leipreachan went.- Collector
