Visitors lashed out at the study's depiction of the leprechaun as offensive.
" The top waste of skin are the humanoids that elected the Notre Dame Leprechaun the 'fourth most offensive' mascot.

They are to be pitied and then rejected."
The Ancient Order of Hibernians, the earliest and biggest Irish-Catholic Company in the United States, also spoke out.
" It is with a mixture of disbelief and despondency that the Hibernians checked out today headlines 'Notre Dame leprechaun thought about offensive, according to survey' in several papers and media outlets," it claimed.
