Kilmainham Jail, Dublin

If you can, take a tour of Kilmainham Jail. The history of this place is incredible, and the people who spent time here are some of the most famous (and infamous) in Irish history. The guided tours are very informative, and looking through their museum gives you a great idea of what life in that prison was like. It was really amazing to see in person what I had learned about in many of my Irish history and politics classes. It makes history come to light!

If you ever seen an irish films with prison scenes in them, then they were probably filmed here!

Prior to going on a tour there is a gallery of artefacts from the prison and various different implements and letters on show. There is a tour available around the jail, and how good this is will depend on your tour guide.

But an interesting place and definitely worth a visit.

	Kilmainham Jail: piece of irish history

on October 4, 2003

Kilmainham Jail or gaol is the place, where the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising were executed-and where Joseph Plunkett married Grace Gifford in a secret ceremony only hours before he was executed.
The guided tour was very interesting and the guide defenitely knew what he was talking about, so if you're interested in irish history- must-see!!!

	Kilmainham Jail: The Jail

on November 30, 2004

Kilmainhamjail was like trying to find a needle in a haystack for me, and I never found it. I regret having left it til late to go there during my visit. It' supposed to be a good tour. I'd suggest finding out exactly how to get there via public transportation or have someone take you there. I tried driving there, and I think I was in the area, but I never found an entrance or a sign for it.
