Chris O’Dowd, a co-star of last year’s huge hit Bridesmaids and the new film Friends With Kids, tweeted a picture of his fiancé Dawn Porter wearing a t-shirt from the line with the slogan “I’m a f***ing Leprechaun”.

The Roscommon born actor tweeted, “Look what I came home to.”

Repeated attempts by the Irish Voice to contact the press department at Urban Outfitters were unsuccessful on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, last Wednesday it was announced that Navajo, the largest Native American tribe in the U.S. is suing Urban Outfitters for using the tribe’s name on their products, including pullovers, feather earrings and underwear.

The tribe filed the suit last Tuesday in U.S. District Court in New Mexico, accusing the clothing retailer of trademark violation.
