Slieverue, otherwise Slieveroe is a village in the south of County Kilkenny, in the Barony of Ida. Despite the name ('red mountain;), the land is relatively low-lying and fertile. Slieverue's population, as of the 2016 census, was 476.
The village stands alongside the main N25 road, some three miles from Waterford City and eight and a half miles from New Ross in County Wexford, near the point where the Rivers Barrow and Suir come together.
About the village
A prominent local hill, known as Carriganurra, features a large concrete cross at its summit. This cross was erected by local residents in 1950 to celebrate the Holy Year.
