Sneem pudding seeks EU status

Two local men are hoping to put the Kerry village of Sneem on the map for its food speciality.

Butchers Peter O’Sullivan and Kieran Burns have applied to get official EU recognition and protection for the locally made Sneem black pudding.

Although the two men run rival butcher shops in a village with a population of around 300 they have come together to seek special designation for a product that is relatively unknown outside the Iveragh peninsula.
