Now that everyone has arrived safely, we as a group went on a tour of the Kilmainham Gaol. This jail played a large role in the history of Ireland. Housing some famous political prisoners that were systematically executed after the 1916 Easter rising, including the Seven Signatories of the Declaration of Independence. By signing this document they knew they had sealed their fate.
This statue represents the 14 men that executed after the Easter Rising.
