Not sure if relevant, but this e-history article from Kildare Library Service Local Studies Department has an article on industry in Athy including brickworks circa 1898
http://www.kildare.ie/library/ehistory/2006/06/athy_newspaper_article_on_the.asp

Similarly, local historian Frank Taaffe has written articles on it. http://athyeyeonthepast.blogspot.ie/1992/12/brickyards.html & http://athyeyeonthepast.blogspot.ie/2000/04/housing-schemes-in-athy-in-1930s.html
