Urlingford (Áth na nUrlainn in Irish) is a town in County Kilkenny in the southeastern part of the Irish midlands.
The town lies on the main N8 Dublin to Cork road and is a bus hub, with major operator JJ Kavanagh based there.[1] Situated 125 km (78 mi) from Dublin and 129 km (80 mi) from Cork, Urlingford has long been a resting-point for travellers half way between Ireland's two biggest cities.
INLA kidnapper Dessie O'Hare was captured near the town in 1987.
