Leixlip

Town in County Kildare, Republic of Ireland, at the confluence of the River Liffey and Rye Water, 18 km/11 mi west of Dublin; population (2002) 15,150. Situated on a turbulent stretch of the Liffey, its former waterfall and salmon leap have been replaced by a hydroelectric dam. Industries include packaging, electronic publishing and communication, and the production of computer components (Intel, Hewlett Packard). Leixlip was founded by the Danes in 915 AD, and its rivers once marked the historic boundary between the kingdoms of Leinster and Brega. Leixlip Castle, erected soon after 1172, is now owned by the Guinness family; the first pint of Guinness was brewed here by Arthur Guinness.
