About Loughboy
Loughboy is a suburban area on the southern side of Kilkenny city, in County Kilkenny and within the R95 routing area. It has a practical, mixed character, combining established housing with retail, industrial and business uses around the Loughboy Shopping Centre and nearby parks. Residents are close to Kilkenny city centre for wider shopping, cafés, restaurants, pubs, culture and services, while Bennettsbridge, Clara and Ballycallan are nearby surrounding localities. School provision includes the School of the Holy Spirit, with other primary and secondary options available across Kilkenny city; the School Office is also located locally. Local shopping is centred on SuperValu and Loughboy Shopping Centre, with additional retail and employment activity in Kilkenny Retail & Business Park and Kilkenny Industrial and Business Park. Car travel is convenient via the N10 and the wider Kilkenny road network, while city bus services and Kilkenny railway station provide public-transport connections for commuters. Leisure options include Kilkenny’s parks, sports clubs and cultural attractions, with restaurants, cafés and traditional pubs available in Loughboy and the city centre rather than concentrated in one village-style main street.
