There are two Irish Town townlands in Kildare: Irish Town Lower and Irish Town Upper. They are in town/village of Straffan, in the parish of Celbridge and (I believe) in the barony of North Salt. My grandfather was born in one of these (not sure if it was upper or lower). I have been there, so if you have any more questions the area feel free to ask me.
