Patrick Sweeney & Co

Ask any local about Sweeneys and they will undoubtedly say something along the lines of «they’ll sell you anything from a needle to an Anchor… that’s their slogan you know?»
Try as I might I can’t see it written anywhere around the Sweeneys shops.
I say shops as there are 3 all together — a brilliant grocery/​Deli, a hardware and a gift shop. But just because it aint written down, don’t mean it aint true! They have pretty much anything you could think of. I was in looking for camping gas for a stupidly rare connector on my bbq, it wasn’t immediately available but the guy behind the counter wouldn’t be beaten — he came up with an only slightly convoluted solution which completely got me out of a fix — he was brilliant.
If you are passing through Achill Sound on your way to camp on the Island, Sweeneys is definitely worth stopping into for last min provisions.
