  Sneem Village - Shopping

For a small village Sneem has a great variety of shops offering pretty much everything you might need from the everyday essentials to gifts, hardware, building supplies, flowers and knitwear. Some shops we use on a regular basis are listed below.

D.J. O'Sullivan - Hilarys.

Known locally as "Hilarys" this shop stocks a variety of vegtables, fruit, cakes, bread, fresh and frozen foods as well as a range of toiletries and cleaning products.

Hilary's is also the place to go if you need bird feed, pots and pans, animal feed or fertilizer. To the rear of the shop there is a small yard where you can load up on the bulkier items such as coal and peat.

You can get a good pair of wellies or work boots here and also the wet weather gear to go with them.

A family run business for everything hardware, building supplies, and power tools. Finding such a well equipped and friendly hardware supplier in the village was a great surprise to me. If they do not have the item in stock they will gladly order it in for you. Galvins are also a great source of advice if you have DIY questions.

In addition to the shop Galvins also have a yard for larger bulk items, and can deliver anywhere in the locality, pay in the shop prior to visiting the yard.
