    The Arthur Guinness plaque was unveiled on the 7th of May. There are some photos on the Celbridge Tidy Towns website. It was partly sponsored by the CTT. Desmond Guinness is in some of the photos.

    Arthur Guinness lived in the Village Inn, now called the Mucky Duck, for the first 27 years of his life, and it was from that building that the Guinness brew originated.
