Coordinates: 53°22′N, 6°29′W Leixlip (Léim an Bhradáin in Irish) is a town in north-east County Kildare, Republic of Ireland, east of the midlands of Ireland. It is situated on the confluence of the River Liffey and the River Rye, on the border of the ancient kingdoms of Leinster and Brega. Its population of 14,676 (2006 Census[1]) makes it the fourth largest town in Kildare and the 26th largest in the republic of Ireland, hosting both local workers, and those commuting to Dublin, which is around 15km distant. The placename comes from the Viking Lax Hlaup, which means "leap of the salmon". The name in Irish is also a direct reflection of this. Leixlip is home to facilities of Intel and Hewlett-Packard. It is also home of Arthur Guinness's first brewery where he brewed ales until he moved to St. James's Gate Brewery, Dublin in 1759 where he first brewed Guinness. Historically, it is the site of the famous Battle of Confey, in which the Viking King Sigtrygg Caech of Dublin defeated the Irish King of Leinster around the year 917. crest of the town of leixlip File links The following pages link to this file: Leixlip ...

Castletown House & The Wonderful Barn. Castletown House is the first grand Palladian House in Ireland - the design of the building led to the construction of Leinster House and from thence to the White House in Washington, D.C. Begun in 1722 by Speaker William Conolly (1662-1729), Speaker of the Irish House of Commons, the lands and the house itself lie in Celbridge however there is also an entrance from Leixlip hence there are two modern estates bearing the Castletown name, one in each town. To mark the eastern vista of Castletown a conical shaped building - The Wonderful Barn - went up in 1743 with the stairs ascending upwards around the exterior of the building. Also of note is Leixlip Spa, which is a spa found by workmen working on the construction of the Royal Canal ,which runs through Leixlip. picture of the Wonderful Barn in Leixlip File links The following pages link to this file: Leixlip ...

The community school, Coláiste Chiaráin has approximately 600 pupils , is mixed gender and multi-denominational. It is currently administered by Mr J. Sweeney (School Principal) and Mr. E. O'Donohugh (School Vice Principal). The other four schools in the Leixlip area are Scoil Uí Dhálaigh (a Gaelscoil), Scoil Mhuire, Scoil Eoin Phoil and Scoil Bhríde (all national schools).

Religion Leixlip is divided into two Roman Catholic Church parishes, Leixlip (Our Lady's Nativity) and Confey (St. Charles Borromeo), each with its own parish church. The Church of Ireland parish of St Mary's also has a church in Leixlip, located in Main Street. Catholic Church redirects here. ...

The division of Leixlip into two separate parishes has had an impact, in that, as is often the case, a degree of rivalry exists between the two. However essentially the inhabitants of the town still share a common identity. This is supported by the fact that, although Leixlip Utd. FC is based in St. Mary's parish, many Confey football players join it rather than their local club Confey FC.
People in Leixlip identify themselves by the parish to which they belong. The two parts of the town, namely the Confey parish and Our Lady's Nativity parish are also separated by the River Rye. The Confey parish is located up the Captain's Hill. These are colloquially as the 'hillers'. People from the other end are known as 'far-enders'. There is a healthy rivalry between both parts of the town. Although Leixlip is a large town it still has a tight-knit community where 'everybody knows everybody'. Overall Leixlipians have a strong sense of identity with the town.
