A police officer in West Clare is in shock after he received a pig’s head in the mail at his family home.

The head was delivered by registered post to the unnamed officer’s home in recent days.

Police have launched an investigation with police colleagues and friends of the "well respected" officer said to be outraged by the incident.

The Irish Independent newspaper reports that the officer is "highly regarded by his colleagues and those in the community where he works."

The package failed to alert post office workers en route to its destination and police are now trying to ascertain who sent it.

One officer told the Irish Independent: “It was a very personal attack. To have something like this sent to a person’s home address is a despicable act.

“It was a full pig’s head that was sent to him in a package. It was sent to his home and an incident like this would cause anyone distress, not least to a person who is just trying to do their job and make a living.”

The report also states that the officer is involved in community work in the area and is well liked in the region.

The source added: “He is extremely approachable to all living there and is very good at his job. He did not deserve this whatsoever.”

IRELAND NORTH, THE END OF YOUR LETTER IS A BRILLIANT PIECE OF HUMOUR, WELL DONE.
Ah GoergefriggingDillon got his photo up at last...
colkelley! The IRA were a lot braver than Lt. Calley in My Lai. aoibhinn! What about the 'Police' Service of Norn Iron (PSNI). Even if they are Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) officers in sheeps clothing. Presuming that this story isn't a ball hop, I'm picking up on a definate Godfather theme here. Remember the horse's head caper against Don Corleone's adversary. The import here is clear. 'Pig' being a derogatory term for a police/law enforcement officer. Severed head suggestive of decapitation if a certain line of enquiry is pursued. Registered post to personal address a warning that they know where he lives, etc. Definately a 'back-off' jesture. I suspect he close to person or persons unknown. He'll probably get a follow-up note. Send me the f...g money or another pig gets it.
AMAZING THAT,JUST LOST A BLOG UNEXPAININGLY,NEVER MIND DO IT AGAIN,WHAT I WROTE WAS,YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT YOU ARE BEING CENSORED BY IRISH NEWS,SINCE I BELIEVE WE LIVE IN A CONTROLLED SOCIETY UNDER THE ILLUSION OF DEMOCRACY I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF THAT,WILL THEY PRINT THIS,I DOUBT IT,IF THEY DO DOES IT PROVE ANYTHING.NO.WHAT ABOUT ALL THE ONES THEY DIDNT PRINT..?????NONE ABUSIVE OR PC.
Ah if youre gonna do that george, do it properly-Ciaracistdexy would be much cleverer!
Smarter than ciaraRACISTdexy, that's for sure!
Great comeback there Georgie in regards PaddyRangers post. High 5! Yawn. If this was sent registered post then they can trace where it was sent from.
Finnbar Owens from Mallow sent the pigs head to Clare. Tell the local Gardai, J Bee Photography!
How symbiotic, The Perfect Gift certificate of Irish Heritage beside the head of a pig. If I was the Clare Garda, I would be very upset by this blatant gesture of disregard and take it as a personal insult. What a woman's blouse he must be though.
There are NO POLICE IN IRELAND! Although they are becoming more like police then gards. They were not founded to police the people but to guard them.
I'M LIVING IN FRANCE, BUT IF I WAS IN IRELAND I'D SEND HIM A HEAD OF CABBAGE.
paddyringer--You're the racist pig.
joan 1954: If this one is anything like your friend, no wonder the Conniving,Underhand,Nasty Toe-rag is still in shock ~ trying to work out who send him a mirror in the post!
Smarter than GeorgieRACISTboyDillon, that's for sure
I guess it beats receiving poster curpeter aka antoman's head in the mail. At least pigs are smart animals.
