My wife was given a cutting from a neighbours Ivy a couple of years
ago and
she planted it near our boundary wall. I asked her not to but she
thought
it would cover the bare wall, it did. This year it has gone mad and
grown
so well the neighbour is complaining. I have tried many weedkillers
but
none have worked.

Could some knowledge person please tell me the name of a weedkiller
that
will kill ivy please as I can foresee neighbour problems.

Cut it off at the roots.
In my experience they do not regenerate well from that.
But you may have odd seedlings which require standard weeding out.

Quit correct. However do not try to pull it off the wall until the stems
are showing signs of death. Also, do not leave it until dead and brittle or
its 'roots' disfigure the wall and are nearly impossible to remove.
