Daingean, formerly known as Philipstown is named after King Philip II of Spain. The small town had a jail in the 1850s which was used to detain people who were convicted and sentenced prior to their transportation to Australia. Many died in jail whilst waiting several years to be moved.

Nice ride along the canal but watch out which tarmac you choose as it could be from perfect to okay to challenging depending on the stretch you plan for.
