I can understand why some would want to see the prison torn down, although I would be very much against it. It's quite a source of pain for many Irish people. In fact, pain and suffering bleed through it's very walls. You can become quite angry and bitter, just looking at those walls.

During the tour, the guide told me that they arrested so many for begging during the famine that they didn't have room for all of them and the corridor was overcrowded. There was a boy (5 yrs I think) who was arrested for stealing grass off an English Estate, and died in prison.

You guys realise Connoly had to be brought from hospital to be exectuted? That is why there are two crosses in the Stonebreakers yard. All but one were executed at the end nearer the smaller door. Connolly was brought by ambulance, lashed to a chair and propped against the wall near the larger double door due to the gravity of his wounds, from which, I may add, he was dying anyway. God bless you James...and the other brave men and women who fouth that fight. We carry you in our hearts.

My wife and I visited Ireland this past May (2010). While in Dublin we visited here. My wife's maiden name is Connolly. Growing up she was told she was related to James Connolly, but we are not exactly sure how.

I understand there is a movie about James Connolly and the Easter Uprising in the works, due to start filming April 2011. Gary Oldman is rumored to play James Connolly and much will be filmed in Killmainham Goal and the GPO (General Post Office, the site of the uprising).

I visited Kilmainham gaol when I was in Dublin back in March. The place definitely made me feel uneasy and depressed. It's as if the very walls radiate all the suffering that took place there. The prison almost felt as if it was haunted.

However, it was a very memorable and worthwhile experience. Though I already knew the basics about the potato famine and the Easter rising, I left the place with a deeper understanding of how imperial Britain ruled Ireland with a total disregard for its people.

Great video. Wonder what James Connolly would think of NAMA and our incompetent Fianna Fail Government and the behaviour of Gardai for Shell in Mayo?
