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.
