DUNDALK’S BIGGEST CELEBRITY JUST HIT THE NATIONAL STAGE! 🐷📺

Did you catch a familiar face on RTE’s The Today Show yesterday? Our very own Dancing Pig has gone from a Dundalk street to national stardom, thanks to the legendary Marty Morrissey!

If Marty says he’s an icon, who are we to argue? After his "stormy" year away, we are so proud to have him back where he belongs—and it seems the whole country was watching!

But here’s the thing… he’s been part of the McCormick family since the 1970s, and he’s still nameless. We think it’s time to change that.

👇 WATCH THE CLIP BELOW AND HELP US OUT!

How to Enter:

1. Comment your best name for our Dancing Pig below. (Is he a 'Paddy'? A 'Marty Junior'? Or something totally Dundalk?)

2. Like & Share this post to spread the word.

3. Tag a friend who needs to come to our "Welcome Home" party!

The Prize: A massive "Piggy Party Hamper" featuring our best butcher-prepared cuts and a €100 Voucher. Many spot prizes for entrants too.

Timeline:

Entries Close: Friday, March 13th.

The Big Reveal: Live at our Piggy Party on Saturday, March 14th!

A huge thanks to , and for covering the Dancing Pig's return.

Hear our interview with Gerry Duffy on LMFM's late lunch.

Its disappearance sparked widespread intrigue and conspiracy theories among residents, highlighting the deep emotional connection the community shares with the shop’s visual identity.

HE’S BACK! 🛡️✨
After a year in the workshop and a lot of 'Where's the sign?' messages, the McCormick’s icon has finally returned to its rightful place on our wall.
This sign has watched over Dundalk for decades, and it didn't feel like home without it. We are officially back to full strength and ready for the next chapter.
To celebrate the return of our landmark, don't forget we’ve also launched our 4 for €20 Mix & Match deal ! Come for the photo, stay for the butcher-quality dinner. 🥩
Thank you for all the support and for keeping the spirit of the shop alive while the sign was away!

"Spotted: Some very important visitors at the shop today! 🏗️🔩
The repair team is officially on-site. It’s been a long year of waiting for parts, the right craftsman and good weather (some chance), but we are just hours away from the big reveal.
Dundalk, are you ready to see the 'gap' filled? 🛠️

"The view from the street has looked a little… 'empty' for a while now, hasn't it? 🧐
​We’ve heard the questions, read the comments, and shared the frustration since that storm last year. But today, the skyline of McCormick’s & Church street is finally changing.
​Keep your eyes peeled. Something iconic is coming home. 🏠✨
