Kilmainham Jail: A Piece of Irish History
I do encourage you to visit this historical jail. (or gaol). It has a lot of importance with Irish history because many of the rebellious leaders were taken here. You can take a tour of the building for very reasonable price. There is an audio and also a video portion. You can view some mementos of the inmates as well as see some of their signatures. If you want to learn a bit about Irish history I would suggest going here.

    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
    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
    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.

    Kilmainham Jail: Kilmainham gaol
    Built in 1795, in Kilmainham Jail Irish heroes were imprisoned including Charles Stewart Parnell, Robert Emmet, Eamon de Valera, Padraig Pearse and James Connolly. Indeed at least 14 leaders of the Easter Rising were executed at Kilmainham Jail in 1916. It was closed in 1924.

    Visitors are given a guided tour of the history of Kilmainham including visiting the cells and seeing the signatures of famous prisoners on the wall. An audio-visual presentation is included in the guided tour.

    If you have any interest in Irish history, this is a MUST SEE stop!
