Callan is one of the largest towns in County Kilkenny in the Republic of Ireland. Situated 10 miles south of Kilkenny on the N76 road to Clonmel (and shortly to be bypassed by the route), it forms the border with Tipperary South and Kilkenny. Callan is the birth place of some famous people, namely Edmund Ignatius Rice, founder of the Irish Christian Brothers, and James Hoban, who designed the White House in the United States.
