The Canadian based gaming company already own Pope Benedict's old VW Golf
along with a slice of toast allegedly bearing the face of the Virgin Mary and
are now keen to add the Rathkeale tree stump to their portfolio of strange
religious objects.
However Paddy Power have today launched an aggressive counter bid in an
effort to secure the future of the revered tree stump and are offering €6,200
(twice the Canadian's original bid) for the stump. The offer which will be made
in writing to the Rathkeale Parish Priest, Canon Joseph Dempsey, today will
remain open until the end of the August.
Paddy Power are also taking bets on where the next sighting of the Blessed
Virgin will take place in Ireland. The Blessed Virgin's usual haunt, Knock
Shrine, is the bookies 5/1 favourite followed by holy mountain, Crough Patrick,
at 12/1. Less likely locations include the moving statues venue of Ballinspittle
at 33/1 and next week's Galway Races at 100/1.
5/1 Knock Shrinee
12/1 Crough Patrick
12/1 Lough Derg
16/1 Glen Columbkille
20/1 Glendalough
20/1 Clonmacnoise
33/1 Ballinspittle
100/1 Galway Races
