Stained glass linked to Killiney's founding legend

The Wikipedia article on Killiney states that the church's stained glass windows commemorate Leinin and his seven daughters, figures in the legendary founding of the area's early monastic community. This is reported here as it appears in a general encyclopedia article; no dedicated heritage or parish source was found to independently confirm it.
