this includes pictures from the prison itself, as well as pictures of the Kilmainham Jail museum (including prison art, Thompson sub-machine gun, .303 lee enfield captured from the RIC, pro and anti-Treaty Civil War Propaganda and lots more, including pictures of the prison and execution yard - finishing with some pictures of sites relevant to the Independence era around Dublin).

(For some reason some pictures are taking an age to load - also in the gallery a couple of pics are corrupted and need to be re-uploaded)
