The entire section headed "Guinness connection" and going on to say "Price took over the Kildrought town brewery in 1722 and placed his land steward Richard Guinness in charge of production of "a brew of a very palatable nature".[citation needed] After his death in 1752, Dr Price's estate bequeathed £100 to Richard's son, the 27-year-old Arthur Guinness to help him expand the brewery, first in 1755 on a new site in Leixlip and from 1759 in St James’s Gate in Dublin. Some of the blocked up doors from the original Price-Guinness brewery can still be seen on the perimeter walls of the Catholic Church forecourt in Celbridge.[citation needed]" is riddled with unsubstantiated, unverified claims not in any source I have been able to find.
I propose unless someone comes up with verifiable sources for these claims, to delete the references the "Kildrought town brewery", and also to the claim that Price left Arthur Guinness £100 to expand the brewery - again, there is no known source to back this up. There IS a Guinness connection - Price employed Richard Guinness, Arthur Guinness's father, and he DID leave Arthur £100, though with no strings attached about expanding any brewery and there are no known links between Price, the Guinnesses and brewing in Celbridge.
