The prison was opened in 1796 and in subsequent years expanded. The prison scene of the major Irish struggle for independence - a guide for the visitor gets a great insight into Irish History. For most of the leaders of the Irish struggle for independence and the Easter Rising of 1916
were imprisoned here.
in 1924 closed the prison in Dublin, and fell into disrepair. Republican veterans it opened in 1960 in Initiative back from the building and made a museum.
in Irish history makes this home so attractive for visitors. It is the rare occasion a well-preserved prison visit, which is not in use:) Also for this reason have been here for many films (eg: In the Name of the Father) or music videos (who else should as U2 is the early 80 been his ...?!)
