Kilmainham Gaol




I had hoped to get a tour of Kilmainham Gaol today but the tour was sold out.  This old jail (now a museum) is a dark part of Ireland’s history. It was here where the leaders of the Easter Rising/Rebellion were executed. A century before that, Robert Emmet delivered his famous speech before being hung and then beheaded.
