Gardaí investigate threatening letters in Kilkee

Gardai in Co. Clare are investigating a threatening letter which has been posted to a number of holiday homes in Kilkee.

Posters telling holiday home owners 'F off' were also displayed in different locations in the seaside town.

Gardai are advising people to contact their local Garda station if they receive threats, be it in person, online or in written form.

Paul Williams from the Kilkee Chambers of Commerce says the letters are not representative of the town.

"The reaction is clear from the Kilkee Chamber of Commerce - this is a stupid thing to do.

"We condemn it, it's not representative of the majority of people in Kilkee.

"We think this is counter productive and gives off a whole wrong signal about Kilkee.

"We think to be fair it's one or two idiots who are doing this."
