This Day in Local History
Did you know? · Dublin suburbs
Local fact
Kildare fact 238: Leixlip sits inside the Kildare County Council orbit; western commuter towns and university-linked growth connect to the wider belt by routes such as the M7. It is one reason the What’s On section now refuses undated or stale listings.
Until tomorrow morning Have a lovely day.
