Inside Kilmainham Gaol | Private Vacations Ireland
Kilmainham Gaol
Your private chauffeur in Ireland will escort you to Kilmainham Gaol (Jail) in Dublin. First built in 1796, it one of the largest unoccupied jails in Europe. Public hangings used to take place in front of the prison but there were very few hangings from the 1820’s onward. However, many of the leaders of the 1916 Easter rising were executed in Kilmainham Gaol. Seen at the time as a place of suffering and oppression it’s no surprise that the jail was shut down as a functioning prison by the Irish Free State in 1924. The restoration of Kilmainhan Gaol was completed in 1971 and opened to the public.
