A tour of Kilmainham Gaol, in Dublin, is a journey into Ireland’s past.
This imposing structure was built in 1796, and quickly established a reputation as one of Ireland’s most fearsome prisons due to its poor living conditions and the brutal treatment of its occupants. After its abandonment in 1924, it sat for many years before refurbishment and conversion to a museum in the 1980s. While it showcases a rather dark portion of Irish history, it’s nonetheless a major draw for those curious about the nation’s past, and Kilmainham Gaol sightseeing is always fascinating.
The gaol’s cells were not segregated; up to five men, women, and even children as young as seven could be held together in each small chamber. Wander through dim, narrow corridors lit only by a handful of lamps and try to imagine scores of other inhabitants moving beside you. The center atrium looks pristine now, but during the prison’s heyday, it would have been choked with prisoners being shuffled to their cells or off to the colonies. Each cell had one candle to provide illumination and warmth, and each candle had to last for two weeks—needless to say, much of the time these cells were cold, miserable places.
Don’t forget to explore the rest of Dublin once you finish up at Kilmainham Gaol. Directly across the street from the prison is the Irish Museum of Modern Art and its Garden of Galleries; this is a good spot to cleanse your eyes before checking out the rest of the city.

Kilmainham Gaol - Dublin
The Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin stands as a monument to Irish independence. A remarkable number of the rebels who fought for Irish independence were imprisoned here and some were executed. Experience what it would have been like to be confined in this forbidding bastion of punishment and correction in the 19th and early 20th century.
KILMAINHAM GAOL: Infamous Dublin Jail!
Kilmainham Gaol (Jail) in Dublin, Ireland was where many rebels from the 1916 Easter Rising and other rebellions were imprisoned and executed. We will see the courthouse and the actual jail cells. The jail was originally built in 1796 and the East Wing was opened in 1864 with 96 cells. Measures were taken to prevent prisoner rebellions and conditions were not ideal for the prisoners. Lots of Irish history here and definitely worth a visit.

Kilmainham Gaol (jail) is fascinating, haunting, and a vital part of Irish history. I took a tour of the historic site for my second visit, and it remains as compelling as ever. I saw spaces in the gaol where many movies and TV series have filmed, as well as the REAL places where Irish revolutionaries and heroes were executed.

Scenes from a tour of Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin, Ireland.
Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin
Kilmainham Gaol is a former prison located in K ilmainham in Dublin, which is now a museum. It has been run since the mid-1980's by the Office of Public Works, and Irish government agency. Kilmainham Gaol played an important part in Irish history, as many leaders of Irish rebellions were imprisoned and some executed in the prison by the British and in 1923 by the Irish free state.

Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin, Ireland
Kilmainham Gaol opened in 1796 as the new County Gaol for Dublin. It closed its doors in 1924.
Today the building symbolises the tradition of militant and constitutional nationalism from the rebellion of 1798 to the Irish Civil War of 1922-23. Leaders of the rebellions of 1798, 1803, 1848,1867 and 1916 were detained and in some cases executed here. Many members of the Irish Republican movement during the Anglo-Irish War (1919-21) were also detained in Kilmainham Gaol, guarded by British troops. Names such as Henry Joy McCracken, Robert Emmet, Anne Devlin, Charles Stewart Parnell and the leaders of 1916 will always be associated with the building. It should not be forgotten however that, as a county gaol, Kilmainham held thousands of ordinary men, women and children. Their crimes ranged from petty offences such as stealing food to more serious crimes such as murder or rape. Convicts from many parts of Ireland were held here for long periods waiting to be transported to Australia. Kilmainham Gaol Museum is operated and managed by the Office of Public Works.
Kilmainham Gaol is a former prison in Kilmainham, Dublin, Ireland. It is now a museum run by the Office of Public Works, an agency of the Government of Ireland. Many Irish revolutionaries, including the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising, were imprisoned and executed in the prison by the British.
History
When it was first built in 1796, Kilmainham Gaol was called the New Gaol to distinguish it from the old prison it was intended to replace – a noisome dungeon, just a few hundred metres from the present site. It was officially called the County of Dublin Gaol, and was originally run by the Grand Jury for County Dublin.
Originally, public hangings took place at the front of the prison. However, from the 1820s onward very few hangings, public or private, took place at Kilmainham. A small hanging cell was built in the prison in 1891. It is located on the first floor, between the west wing and the east wing.
There was no segregation of prisoners; men, women and children were incarcerated up to 5 in each cell, with only a single candle for light and heat. Most of their time was spent in the cold and the dark, and each candle had to last for two weeks. Its cells were roughly 28 square metres in area.
Children were sometimes arrested for petty theft, the youngest said to be a seven-year-old child, while many of the adult prisoners were transported to Australia.
At Kilmainham the poor conditions in which women prisoners were kept provided the spur for the next stage of development. As early as his 1809 report the Inspector had observed that male prisoners were supplied with iron bedsteads while females 'lay on straw on the flags in the cells and common halls.' Half a century later there was little improvement. The women's section, located in the west wing, remained overcrowded. In an attempt to relieve the overcrowding 30 female cells were added to the Gaol in 1840. These improvements had not been made long before the Great Famine occurred, and Kilmainham was overwhelmed with the increase of prisoners.

Ireland 2010: Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin
Footage from my visit to the disused prison Kilmainham in Dublin. It is now a museum, but was in use for 128 years. Many famous prisoners have been held here after failed Irish rebellions. This was a very moving place to visit, one of the highlights of my trip. It was also very interesting to see the overview of the history of 'prison theory' that this place embodies.
Kilmainham Gaol Museum, Dublin, Ireland
Kilmainham Gaol Museum in Dublin Ireland was built at the end of the 18th Century but its most important for the period when 14 men were executed for treason after the Easter Uprising.

So recently I went to Dublin to celebrate my birthday. While there, I stopped off at the world famous Kilmainham Gaol.
Kilmainham Gaol is an abandoned prison in Dublin, and has housed some of the most influential people in Ireland's history.
Here's some detailed information;
When it was first built in 1796, Kilmainham Gaol was called the New Gaol to distinguish it from the old prison it was intended to replace – a noisome dungeon, just a few hundred metres from the present site. It was officially called the County of Dublin Gaol, and was originally run by the Grand Jury for County Dublin.
Originally, public hangings took place at the front of the prison. However, from the 1820s onward very few hangings, public or private, took place at Kilmainham. A small hanging cell was built in the prison in 1891. It is located on the first floor, between the west wing and the east wing.
There was no segregation of prisoners; men, women and children were incarcerated up to 5 in each cell, with only a single candle for light and heat. Most of their time was spent in the cold and the dark, and each candle had to last for two weeks. Its cells were roughly 28 square metres in area.
Children were sometimes arrested for petty theft, the youngest said to be a seven-year-old child, while many of the adult prisoners were transported to Australia.
At Kilmainham the poor conditions in which women prisoners were kept provided the spur for the next stage of development. Remarkably, for an age that prided itself on a protective attitude for the weaker sex, the conditions for women prisoners were persistently worse than for men. As early as his 1809 report the Inspector had observed that male prisoners were supplied with iron bedsteads while females 'lay on straw on the flags in the cells and common halls.' Half a century later there was little improvement. The women's section, located in the west wing, remained overcrowded.
