Kilmainham Gaol (Irish: PrÃosún Chill Mhaighneann) is a former prison in Kilmainham, Dublin. It is now a museum run by the Office of Public Works, an agency of the Government of Ireland. Many Irish revolutionaries, including the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising (Patrick Pearse, James Connolly, Tom Clarke, Seán Mac Diarmada, Joseph Plunkett, Ãamonn Ceannt, Thomas MacDonagh), were imprisoned and executed in the prison by the orders of the UK Government.
