  William Fitzgerald, 2nd Duke of Leinster, merits a wiki page, but James Delahunty's page on the DIA is a bit sparse.

• Swordscookie said:

  Is "Knight of the Trowel" taking the mick??? Is the stone still there and why Cromaboo?

• Sharon Corbet said:

  Swordscookie Probably. Yes ( Streetview). It's the War cry of the Fitzgeralds..

• Swordscookie said:

  I got the answer to my second question - Crom Abú was the battle cry of the Fitzgeralds and as a Fitzgerald had the bridge built it was his honour to name it! Great detail HERE
