But of course, that can be expected of a 200 years old prison. I visited in march which was very cold and unconfortable. The tour guide was excellent and the entrance orice very reasonable 4 euros. But unless you are into early 1900's irish history, you can skil the visit.

Very knowledgeable guide who really told us so much about the Gaol and the history. Such an atmospheric tour, takes about an hour and is very busy. Get there early in the day.

Easily reachable on the HoHo bus this is a must see attraction if you want to have any appreciation of Irelands history and in particular its relationship with the UK. Lots of information to take in but well worth it and on a cold bright day in March you see what dismal place it must have been. Don't be tempted to just take the tour and miss out the museum, it's well worth it. Part of the gaol was closed when we visited, but the price had been reduced accordingly so still represented good value. You can't book in advance so it's get there, queue up and book your self on the earliest available tour or any tour that's convenient.
