This phrase simply means “Good morning." The phrase is not used that commonly in Ireland anymore, but traditionally the correct response is “And the rest of the day to you,” which means “Enjoy the rest of your day.”
A leprechaun is an Irish mythical (fantasy) creature. According to legends, the leprechaun is a short man with a red beard, dressed entirely in green. The leprechaun guards a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. If you’re lucky enough to catch a leprechaun, he’ll give you three wishes. Start looking!
Leprechauns are also known as troublemakers who like to play tricks on people, like sneaking up and pinching them.
"May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you."
