Kileedy Neighbourhood Guide
Limerick
About Kileedy
Kileedy is a small rural parish in west County Limerick, close to the borders with County Cork and County Kerry, and within the V42 area. The locality is centred on a dispersed farming community around Kileedy village and parish facilities, with Broadford, Tournafulla, Rockchapel, Ballagh and Strand among the surrounding settlements. Life here is quiet and countryside-focused, with larger everyday shopping and services generally found in Newcastle West, Abbeyfeale or nearby towns rather than in Kileedy itself. Local primary-school provision serves the surrounding rural community, while secondary-school choices are available in Newcastle West, Abbeyfeale and the wider west Limerick area. There is no railway station in Kileedy, so commuting is mainly by car using the regional road network, with bus services and rail connections accessed from larger neighbouring towns. Social life centres on parish activities, Gaelic games, community events and local pubs, including venues in and around Broadford and Tournafulla. The area suits residents seeking space, a strong local identity and access to the countryside, while Newcastle West provides the broadest nearby selection of supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, healthcare and leisure facilities.
