We have been learning all about the famous local historical site Kilmainham Gaol in September. We learned about prison life, reasons prisoners were sent to Kilmainham and all about the famous political prisoners that were imprisoned there for their part in the 1916 Easter Rising. We were lucky to go on a trip to Kilmainham Gaol. Have a look at our photographs and read some of our recounts of our trip.
Kilmainham Gaol by Kali
We went to Kilmainham Gaol. My favourite part was going to see Grace Gifford's jail cell. Something new that I learned was that when Joseph Plunkett and Grace Gifford got married Grace bought the ring instead of Joseph because he was a prisoner. I felt chilly in my legs when we were on the yard where the political prisoners were executed. Our tour guide Tom was the best!

We went to Kilmainham Gaol. My favourite part of the tour was learning about Joseph Plunkett and Grace Gifford. I had shivers down my spine at the stonebreakers yard.
They are gifted with patience, understanding, kindness and care and we really appreciate them.
