€10,000 goes up for grabs on Grafton Street

Fortune hunters are set to flock to Dublin’s Grafton Street today as a mystery donor gives away €10,000.

From 10am shoppers will have 10 minutes to get their hands on crisp €10 notes as a group of models walk up and down the street.

By answering one simple question correctly early birds will have the chance to make money for nothing in the no strings attached giveaway.

The spending spree, organised by a so-far anonymous businessman, is billed as the first step in a mission to end Ireland’s rip-off culture.

And the unnamed man will later launch a campaign aimed at bringing everyday costs for consumers into line with the rest of Europe.
