What is recorded here
Fountain in Athy bears an inscription announcing that Maurice, Duke of Leinster, presented it to the town in 1907. Buy one round of water and put your name on it for a century. There's a man who knew how to get value from a round.
Polished limestone carved circular drinking fountain, erected in 1907, on a stepped granite octagonal plinth. Inscription reads: 'Presented to the town of Athy by Maurice, Duke of Leinster, 1907'.
