According to the Irish Independent, Ireland was put up for sale, purportedly on the Daft.ie website, on Thursday.
Daft.ie bosses have maintained that the advert, selling Ireland for EUR12126212.56 per square kilometre, wasn't on their site. "Someone used Photoshop or some similar mechanism to make it appear the advert was on our website and then they sent several emails with a copy of it," said a spokesman. The ad read: "Republic of Ireland, Western Europe. EUR900bn o.n.o. Island for sale. Floor area 74,000 km2. Unit Price: EUR12126212.56 per sq km. Contact name: Brian Cowen."
