Castlecomer earns its coverage twice over: once as a town with its own steady demand — the square, the estates off the Athy and Dublin roads, the Discovery Park end — and again as the gateway stop on the N78 corridor toward Athy, Carlow's north end and Dublin. Vans pass through 'Comer constantly, which means deliveries here are cheap and same-day service is very realistic.
North Kilkenny generally — Ballyragget, Ballinakill borders, Clogh, Moneenroe, Coon — hangs off the same patch. The old colliery villages have some of the friendliest door-side chats in the county, and some of the steepest lanes; neither is a problem.
