What is recorded here
Arrogance and greed, like the towers of Babel, build upward to crush the makers and exclude the many. The clock tower in Ardagh stands as a bright warning against that temptation. To honour one person is to enshrine the desire to be honoured above the desire to serve. Better to build roads, schools, hospitals and libraries that disappear into the lives of everyone.
Ardagh Clock Tower is recorded as a monument in County Longford. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
