WHAT TO DO THIS WEEK

Kilmainham Gaol was a prison in Ireland for over 100 years. It held all kinds of people, from petty criminals to important figures in Irish history. When you visit, you'll learn about:

• Regular prisoners

• People who fought for Ireland's freedom

• Major events in Irish history from 1798 to 1923

The jail's story covers rebellions, wars, and the struggle for Irish independence.

There’s a prison writing exhibition coming up and they have confirmed it is suitable for kids too. You can book tickets on their website.

NEWS OF THE DAY
