However the Duke of Leinster contributed £1,000 towards the cost of the £200,000 undertaking and insisted that his town would be served by the canal.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Maynooth has a canal harbour, and the canal is navigable from central Dublin to this point and onwards to Clondara, County Longford. It is now mostly used mostly for leisure and drainage purposes but historically was used for passengers and freight (grain, potatoes, coal and coke, manure, turf, bricks, stone, sand, timber, and general merchandise) and Maynooth's canal harbour provided a stopping point before Dublin. When the railways arrived, passengers transferred to the quicker rail service. </p><p>The harbour, known locally as <i>Duke's Harbour</i>, is roughly triangular in shape and on the north side of the canal, opposite the railway station, is a popular fishing area. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Rail">Rail</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Maynooth&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Rail"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Maynooth_railway_station" title="Maynooth railway station">Maynooth railway station</a> is one of the busiest in the Dublin / Kildare region, as it serves two major educational institutions and is a major commuter town for people working in <a href="/wiki/Dublin" title="Dublin">Dublin</a>.
