Today Sneem is a popular resort on the Ring of kerry with first class accommodation.

The Irish name for the town "An tSnaidhm" translates into the English "The Knot".
There are several explanations as to why a "knot" would be relevant for this small Kerry village.
Sneem village comprises 2 squares, North and South.
There is a bridge in the middle of the village which acts as a knot between the two village squares.
In March 1978 Sneem was the venue for the state funeral for former President Cearbhall Ó
Dálaigh who resided in the area prior to his death. Former French President Charles de Gaulle
visited here on numerous occasions and there is a sculpture commemorating this in the village.
