Wanted: fit, sporty chatterboxes to be ambassadors for Ireland

A MAJOR recruitment drive is underway in West Clare to fill jobs carrying very unusual and wide ranging specifications.

Those hired will be expected to bear heavy burdens with a smile.

Candidates must have an interest in sport, be fit, able to hump goods weighing up to 80 pounds for more than five hours over up to five miles in open countryside. Uniforms must always be spick and span and operatives must be available for work during daylight hours.
