Athy - Definition and Overview

Athy (Irish: Baile Átha Í) is in County Kildare, Ireland. It is famous for being the answer to a question in Larry Gogan's Just A Minute (the sixty-second radio quiz). The question was: Give the name of a town in Kildare that contains a part of the human anatomy. "A thigh" was the required answer, but the contestant named another Kildare town.

Athy is on the Grand Canal, and the River Barrow. It is also connected to the Irish rail network via the Dublin–Waterford main line.

Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh famously referred to Athy in his poem "Lines written on a Seat on the Grand Canal, Dublin", as a "far-flung town".
