They're looking for six strong men to act as elephants down in Waterford.
They could also do with a bearded lady and a politically-incorrect babe, "not a shy girl (scantily dressed)," the job specification warns.
In a huge shed on the quays, the preparations for Waterford's annual street party, or Spraoi, are well advanced. The August holiday weekend event is set to transform the city with yet another spectacular Fantasy as it continues to develop annually towards a full-blown Mardi Gras.
Spraoi set out six years ago to create a carnival-type festival for the Waterford community. Its director, T.V. Honan, claims a genuine sense of participation has developed extending to gardai, corporation workers, the business community and the public.
"We made a deliberate decision to make it a festival for the people who live here. But it became a tourist event in spite of itself," he says.
The scale of the public response and enthusiasm has grown each year.
Last year more than 30,000 people attended the torchlight parade and fireworks show on the river which closed the festival. Performers from Japan, Ghana, Trinidad, London, the US and all parts of Ireland took part.
The basic production group consists of 12 to 15 people operating on a very modest budget. Its core funding of £10,000 from Waterford Corporation was matched this year by the Arts Council. All other funding comes from Waterford business people.
The festival has gained such goodwill that help comes from all directions. Some 200 volunteers will help out as the preparations intensify.
"It couldn't be done without the voluntary effort," says T.V. Honan. FAS workers on a Community Enterprise Scheme, music students and those studying at the local art college all join willingly in the work.
Even now, the old warehouse which is the festival's nerve centre - it has been donated to Spraoi by Bus Eireann - echoes to the sound of hammering and sparks fly as welders complete the frames of floats and figures.
The workshop is like a big school, in a way," says the Spraoi director. The cost times alone constitute a formidable task. Clare Horgan has to somehow produce over 150 exotic outfits from a range of salvaged, donated or bought materials.
Last year Spraoi's outdoor show had a Viking funeral theme. This year the theme is from the story title, "The Sleepstealers", based on the dream of a little girl that the "Dark Circus" comes to town.
Clowns, jugglers, fire-eaters and snake-charmers are involved, along with the elephant and rhinoceros figures. A strong element of drama is promised.
Spraoi has got several schools working on creative projects to enhance the festival, the results to be exhibited afterwards in the schools.
The Spraoi company has now become regularly involved in other festivals in Waterford and elsewhere. It has built floats for some of the biggest Waterford businesses for the St Patrick's Day parade.
The company also took part recently in the Notting Hill Festival in England, gaining experience of a carnival which literally takes over the streets of a major urban area.
