  1. JAMES CONNOLLY 110th ANNIVERSARY

    In the early hours of May 12th 1916, #JamesConnolly, was taken by stretcher from Dublin Castle to the stonebreakers yard in #Kilmainham Jail, strapped to a wooden chair, and executed by a #BritishArmy firing squad.

    James Connolly was a Marxist, a patriot, an internationalist and the leader of the revolutionary working class in the #EasterRising. His execution was among the blackest crimes of imperialism against #Ireland and the international socialist movement.

    Sadly, the #AuldBitch was not destroyed. 😞 Nor was it reinstalled at ground level, where people could look down at it, and mock it. 😞

    Instead, the #NationalMuseumOfIreland put Victoria outside its then storage yard at the Royal Hospital in #Kilmainham.

  3. CW: Alcohol references, pub exterior, and drink advertisement.

    Final one: Kilmainham Mill’s environs are beautiful, particularly in this weather. Dublin 8 lookin’ great in strong and low Samhain sunlight. Royal Oak pub never looked better, delivers on its advertisement too. #Dublin8 #Ireland #RoyalOak #Local #Kilmainham :pint: 5/5 end.

  4. Really lucky this beautiful November morn to get a behind-the-scenes tour of Kilmainham Mill which is under restoration and development at the moment. Expect a long thread of pics. #Wow #KilmainhamMill #OldMill #IndustrialArchitecture #IndustrialHeritage

  5. Coyle was eventually taken to Mountjoy Prison from which she was transferred to Kilmainham.

    Coyle was one of twenty female prisoners to escape on 7 May 1923. She was recaptured the following day however. Coyle was finally released from Kilmainham in December 1923. 4/5
