CommentsAs a Belfast nationalist I believe that Kilmainham should be preserved at all costs. The people who restored it and who continue to work there are owed a huge debt by the nation. The preservation of our national monuments serves to remind us how far we have come and how much our people have suffered. A visit to Kilmainham is indeed a humbling experience and every school child should be brought at least once.
CommentsI was born in Dublin and came to Canada in 1956. My parents and the rest of my family lived at 1 Kickham Road and I went to school at Goldenbridge Convent. My father had his business in Kilmainham. I spent most of my early years in an around this area. Although I never visited the jail, it always reminded me of the history I was being taught at school. To lessen the importance of such a national monument to Ireland and its people by surrounding it with concrete and office space, is a desecration. Here in Ottawa, there is a height limit to any buildings in or around the Parliament buildings for this very reason. No building can be taller than the Parliament buildings, although the large builders have tried, time and again, to get around this bylaw. Please rethink your position on this very important subject and make sure that Kilmainham Jail remains untouched in its present setting. While travelling across the United States and other countries, Irish people and their descendants all are familiar with this part of Irish history.
CommentsIt is difficult to see why Kilmainham Gaol, a site of the greatest historic importance as regards the struggle for freedom of the Irish people, is treated so carelessly by the authorities. Willem van Baalen The Hague, Netherlands.
CommentsSo the boys are back in town now with planning application 2217/00. This Leapord does not even try to change its spots. A new number and now its to be called the Hueston Office Blocks (as of 2oth July 2001) - after Sean Hueston who was executed in Kilmainham Jail in 1916. What next!! Watch this space more to follow.
CommentsI am a resident of Kilmainham and I cannot understand why the area around the jail and the Royal Hospital has not been developed with tourists in mind - i.e. shops (arts, crafts etc), restaurants, coffee shops and now the plan is for office blocks which will dwarf the surrounding historial buildings - did we learn nothing from Woodquay!
Commentsplease try to keep the unique character of kilmainham, I'm a regular visitor to dublin, and have watched the gaol project grow over the last 6 years or so....... from Swansea, S.Wales
CommentsI wish to object to Charmside / Treasurys latest "unchanged" plans for Kilmainham. 2217/01 = 2467/00 of last year,what type of stunt are they trying to pull of with the consent of Dublin Corporation. We are really looking forward to Mary Taylor( Dublin Corporation's facilitator and schemer) moving into the area shortly, boy is she going to get some welcome. We note she is not moving into Inchicore village. Her token presence on SCR is nothing more than a hideout after she has agreed all with the developers. THe so called Integrated Area Plan is nothing more than a vechicle to allow developers plan and build CRAP with Taylors consent in Kilmainham.
Commentsthis area of beauty and heritage should not be destroyed by greedy fat cat developers. Dublin city
CommentsDear Sir/Madam As a local Kilmainham resident, I am concerned about future developments altering the historic "face" of the area. Consideration should be given to the symbollic importance Kilmainham Jail has in recent Irish history and the country's identity. I urge Planners to permit sensitive redevelopment of the site opposite the jail and not diminish its presence by the proposed high rise office buildings. The area has such great potential to provide so much more to tourists and visitors from around Ireland and would be a "win-win" for locals and visitors alike with the approval of developments addressing these obvious gaps in the area. Local resident, SCR, Dublin 8
CommentsI am an Irish citizen living in California U.S.A. I go home every year and I am deeply concerned about the development of the commercial site across from Kilmainham Gaol. Please do not let developers scar this important historic site. A development that would fit in more with the historical and physical perspective would be ideal. Please, please reconsider the approval of this development. Maureen Coleman San Diego, California U.S.A.

CommentsAs frequent visitors to Dublin, we would like to lodge our objections to the proposed office building site near the historic Kilmainham Jail. Liam & Marti Massey of Eureka, California USA
CommentsDublin doesn't need any more offices
CommentsDear Sirs; Please preserve the area surrounding Kilmainham Jail! I have visited a few times and want to have the area remain essentially the way it is now for future generations to enjoy It is an integral part of Irish History and should not be destroyed Bridget, FL.grandparents from Co Waterford) USA
CommentsI learnt about this project from a Dubliner friend of mine. I had a vivid feeling that historical monuments should be preserved as much as possible. Don't make Dublin just another metropolis.
CommentsGREETINGS FROM TURIN, ITALY. AS I SEE DUBLIN CORPORATION IS NO MORE AND NO LESS ONE NO HEARTED-MULTINATIONAL COMPANY ONLY TAKING CARE OF MONEY NOT UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PAST. I WONDER WHERE YOU DIRECTORS AND CHAIRMANS WOULD BE TODAY ISF IT WEREN'T FOR YOUR PARENTS AND FOR ALL THOSE WHO LIVED IN THE PAST. MOST OF ALL FOR ALL THOSE WHO FIGHTED FOR THE FREEDOM OF YOUR COUNTRY ! WITHOUT THEM, NOWADAYS' IRELAND WOULD BE KIND OF BANGLADESH !!!! IT WOULD BE BETTER KILMAINHAM TO BE LEFT IN THE ACTUAL STATUS WITH NO MONSTRUOUS BUILDINGS SURROUNDING IT TO PRESERVE THE MEMORY OF THOSE WHO WERE IMPRISONED, SOMENONE TO DEATH, TO REACH WHAT YOU ARE TODAY. GREETINGS AND MAY GOD OPEN UP YOUR CLOSED MINDS !!!
CommentsIt is with the deepest regret that once again I feel I must write to tell you how deeply distressed I am by the revised plans for Kilmainham. To believe, as the developers seem to, that simply renaming the project after a martyr of the '16 is a valid answer to the concerns of the people is uttererly rediculous. As I said in my first submission to the Corporation, I believe that the protection of historic places is one of the most important things we have to educate our children and the world about the ongoing struggle of the Irish people. To allow any development to infringe on the meaning of these places sacred to the memory of Irish around the world would be yet another blot on our incessant history of betraying ourselves. I truly believe that this development may " beautify " the city and make good economic sense. However I have always felt that the history of my people, the struggles we have been through, and are going through, are of more importance than being a "world class" city. To allow this project to go ahead is to eventually trivialise the meaning of that struggle and this important building in the history of that struggle.
CommentsI object to what the Dublin Corporation wants to do to the history of Dublin, Ireland, leave the area around Kilmainham Jail as a permanet reminder of what Irish went through.
CommentsDublin Corporation (Planning) Wood Quay, Dublin 8 I object to the "new" plans (2217/01) for "The Heuston Office and Technology Park". Surely, although I am not an Irish citizen, my opinion that the public need have a say about how their lives are affected by others is a reasonable and just opinion.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there. --Rumi, 12th century Sufi poet
CommentsI cannot express strongly enough how much I object to any changes in the Kilmainham Jail area. Because of my heritage and my passion for exploring the history of Ireland I must write to tell you that any changes in the historic atmosphere of the area should be declared criminal. The changes I have seen in my trips to Ireland since 1984 are stupendous. I had no trouble understanding what "Celtic Tiger" meant. Now let's just be sure the tiger doesn't chase it's self in circles (sorry, I guess that's an American story.) The work done on preserving and presenting historic sights has been perfection up to now. PLEASE, let's not bungle it now! Debra Evans Omaha, Nebraska USA
CommentsThe proposed development so close to Kilmainham Jail is an absolute disgrace and one I am vehemently opposed to. Anything that takes away form such an important historic building should not be contemplated.
CommentsA friend of mine lives in his sister's house in Kilmainham. He is for the proposed blocks. He says it will increase the value of his sister's property. It is probably the only reason why anybody would be prepared to sacrifice our heritage:- greed. Shouldn't we realise that the true riches in life aren't monetary. Understanding who we are (and indeed who we were) and where we come from are some of the many other things in life which hold much more value. Infringements upon this understanding will be regrets of our generations to come.
CommentsDorn Simon, Dublin, It is astounding how this development is still being reviewed as a go ahead, the initial first design was protested against and for very good reason, and the developper has now put in for a second planning permission, with alterations that exceed the original bulk design that has already been objected to...It has come to my attention, that a local resident in this area, had previously put in a planning permission for an extention of simply 2 storey's to match thier house, this was refused, under bad planning, then why, tell me, has a 4 storey building which is simply one part of this proposed development, been approved, just inches away from where the 2 storey had been refused??? Oh and the reason for the 4 storey approval, its good planning!! Kilmainham is already getting swarmed and suffocated by the surrounding busy roads and development that is supossedly progression, don't lose this village due to greed, as when all is said and done, econemy changes, history doesn't.
CommentsI have visited Kilmainham Gaol three times over the last seven years and feel that it is one of the most emotional experiences I've ever experienced - the other two were Dachau and the Alamo. It would be sin against Irish history and the martyrs who have given their all for the cause of Irish independence to allow this project to go forward and detract from the significance of Kilmainham. Jim McNally - Millersville, MD - USA

CommentsI am from the United States. I recently visited Ireland and Kilmanham Jail was the best of all the sights I visited. The tour, tour guide, museum all deepened my empathy for the Irish people, a people to be greatly admired for their perseverance, commitment, and love. I feel the proposed plans would diminish the importance of the Jail as a symbol of Irish heritage.
CommentsI object to the new planning application by Treasury Holdings of 20th July, 2001 (your ref 2217/01). My objections are the same as those for the original application (your ref 2467/00) and if you can be bothered, you can find them on file. They so-called new plan is even more laughable than the original, raising Block C from three to four stories and naming it after Sean Heuston. It's obvious we're dealing with some major league comedians here. If they want to built such a development, they stick it out in Parkwest, or some similar location. In the meantime, if these developers need any suggestions, I can think of loads of places where they can stick their plans! As a postscript, I've just realised as I was writing that I've been subconsciously humming Ewan McColl's "The Father's Song", in which a father consoles his young son ( who's woken up crying, having had a nightmare ) with the words "there are no ogres, wicked witches, only greedy sons of bitches". As we'd say in Inchicore, "gas isn't it!"
CommentsVehemently object to the proposed changes. Do not diminish the importance of the heritage of the goal.Even the president Eamon de Valera was imprisoned by his fellow Irish citizens in this historic place. The proposed is incongruous with the buildings and will lessen the impression of the millions of visitors to the site.
CommentsHello: I am a fist generation Irish American, with roots in County Louth. It is appaling to me, to learn that the area surrounding the Historic Kilmainham Jail is being considered for high rise development. Such a sacred site should be preserved for generations to come. It would be much better to construct a memorial, museum and chaped on the proposed site. I will be returning to ireland within two weeks, and Kilmainham will be uppermost on my list of places to visit. It will be a return visit for me, and one which I always enjoy.
CommentsI STRONGLY OBJECT TO DEVELOPMENT PLANS OPPOSITE KILMAINHAM JAIL, ON HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL GROUNDS I just cannot believe Dublin Corporation, and how you conduct your business, you have absolutely ruined Dublin City beyond belief, Please (for Gods sake) leave this historical building alone. Have the courage to stand up to the developers. LETS HAVE SOME DUBLIN PEOPLE MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR OWN CITY AND ITS FUTURE, AND HOLD ON TO OLD DUBLIN.
CommentsI object strongly to the building of office blocks in this area which is in dire need of a heritage centre. The fact that the original plans have been revised and actually altered in such a manner as to increase the height of the proposed building is an insult to the people of Inchicore, Kilmainham, Dublin Ireland, and the world. The planning department of Dublin haver a lot to answer for if they agree to this proposal and will leave a dreadful legacy to our successors. At a time we are trying to clean up our 'dirty Dublin' image and it appears that the Planning Department are intent on portraying an image of corporate Ireland and ignoring the wishes of local people and the citizens of Ireland. As ordinary people who pay our taxes and are interested in our heritage, our image and our environment we can do something constructive about our litter problem, what can we do in the face of beaurocrats who accept brown envelopes and leave us with monstosities of bulidings for posterity. Hopefully the planning department of Dublin will prove to us on this occasion that they are beyond reproach and will take into consideration the genuine objections of local, national and international lovers of Ireland and our heritage. We are not standing in the way of progress or living in the past when we suggest that there are numerous industrial estates dotted around the city and on its outskirts that are adequately suited to office blocks on this scale, with the infrastructure required for such a venture. Inchicore/Kilmainham does not fit this bill. What if the celtic tiger collapses? Will our new office block become a derelict eyesore, another blot on our horizon? We have always relied on tourism. A heritage centre for Kilmainham will suit all concerned. It would be economically viable, always in vogue, and contribute to employment in the local and wider area. Yours sincerely, Ms Phil Robert M.A.
CommentsI disagree with the office blocks. The historical significance of the gaol should take the higher priority.
CommentsIs this the best Irish Architects can produce for Modern Dublin yet in an Old District. Sliced pan, flatroofed Lego blocks that would look out of place on Mars. Kilmainham does not deserve (with permission) from the city officials this muck. Its not even contempory. Its just 3 modren sweat shops / big Iowa wheat barns one would see in the American mid west. I object to 2217/01 and the name Sean Hueston being exploited for this greedy architectural devoid,boxy,lumpy so so bad building design and right in the face of the birthplace of the Irish Nation.
CommentsI was one of the 160,000 people who visited Kilmainham Jail in 1999. I also visited the Royal Hospital (modern art museum.) As an American of Irish descent, I was overcome with emotion by the entire Kilmainham area and what amazed me the most was how many visitors who were not of Irish descent were overwhelmed with the story and the atmosphere of the jail which illustrates critical years in Irish history. Surely you can find a development company that will take the character of the area and the buildings surrounding the open field into account when planning an appropriate use. Lest you think I do not understand the complexities of development issues, suffice it to say that I have worked for a large American municipality for the past twenty four years and heve dealth with this type of issue many times. There is always room for compromise and negotiation. Terrie Moran
CommentsI've only visited Europe once and this great site was one of my favorites in Ireland. It seems a shame to disturb this wonderful look at the awful past. Please take this international opinion to heart and leave this wonderful historical place as it is. Thank you! Bob O'Halloran, Virginia, USA
CommentsWhile I confess a less than adequate understanding of the issue, in generic terms, I am opposed to any structure, or complex of structures, that would in any way, denigrate the historical significance of the jail. I feel that development could very well have the effect of diminishing the sacrifice of the myrial patriots who were interned or executed there in the cause of Irish freedom.
CommentsI object to the revised plan for the 'office/technology park. I agree with the comments made on kilmainham-gaol.com. The importance of this site and its potential for the community is being neglected.We need a development that is visually at home in this space, not one that jars with its surroudings.Its function too is important. This part of Kilmainham still has a village feel and needs a development that will build on the history/culture and art of the area and wil consider the wishes of the community. Its economic potential can be achieved in ways other than an office park- a well thought out/well designed plan which builds on the tourism and history in the area while not neglecting our reponsibilities to this historic site.
CommentsSo yet again Ireland is to be sold at a profit,the fat cats of Dublin Corporation should learn from history what can happen if you refuse to take notice of the will of the people. NO to the office blocks.SAVE kilmainham jail. T.P. O'REILLY, MERSEYSIDE
Commentssave the sanctity of kilmainham gaol. ballinamore county leitrim
CommentsShame on you. You should be protecting your National heritage instead you are desecrating the hallowed ground of Irish Martyrs. Naming it after Sean Hueston does not remove the stench.
CommentsDublin does not need more congestion, put the office complex outside of the city, it is a pity to name such a blight after Sean Hueston, Cromwell Towers would be more appropriate.
CommentsDear Sir/Madam, I wish to object to the latest appended planning application as being over-large, unsuitable for the heritage location of Kilmainham Gaol and also being essentially the same plan as one previously submitted by this developer, thus vexatious and an attempt to get around previous objections to their plan. Yours Sincerely, Michael Logan Tyrconnell Park Inchicore
CommentsKilmainham Gaol might as well be demolished and paved over for office block parking, if this development is allowed to continue - this sacred site should be gikven the same respect as a cathedral Michael Hayes, USA
CommentsI would hope and pray that the magnificient Kilmainham Jail and all that it stands for will not be dwarfed by the planned office buildings. While progress is wonderful, and Ireland surely needs progress, history and the struggle for freedom by the Irish people must take center stage. If the buildings must be built, re-design them so they are not so overpowering. New buildings do not make a statement, Kilmainham Jail certainly does. Thomas Sheridan Santa Clarita, California 91350 U.S.A.
CommentsI object to the proposed plans for buildings opposite Kilmainham Jail on the grounds that it would visually impair the entire Kilmainham Jail area and its standing as a fulcrum of Irish historical importance. The projected influx of traffic as a result of the development (coupled with the movement of heavy machinery during its construction) to the already congested area would also seriously erode the ancient building. Mairtin Breathnach, Apollo House, Tara Street, Dublin 2.
CommentsI am writing from Old Kilmainham Rd. and again say the proposal for a multi storey office block is absolutley ridiculous outside one of our National Heritage sites. The Rowntree building is pretty ugly, so knocking it is a good thing, but the area is already quite elevated and I see the plans have now changed to make Block C taller behind Spencer Terrace. It'll over shadow not only the Gaol & Courthouse but the beautiful war memorial gardens will have to live in its imposing presence, also it'll adversely effect St. John's Well. It seems ridiculous that in a city of low buildings THIS is where the decision is made to build a monstrosity. Please don't grant the permission. Why not consider building a plaza with a coffee house & shops (2 storey) but no one wants multi storey office blocks here. Thank you.
CommentsI strongly object to the proposed new development near Kilmainhah jail, as I feel such a significant historical building would become obscured by a modern multi storied building, and that heritage sties of this importance should be preserved intact at all cost. Carol Osgood, Christchurch, New Zealand.
CommentsI am opposed to the building of the multistory development opposite Kilmainham jail as I believe it undermines the importance of the jail ,its historical past and the importance that should be allocated to a building of such national Importance. I am from Leixlip in the county of KIldare but am writing from New Zealand wherre I live at present.
CommentsI visited Ireland in March and touring Kilmainham Goal was one of the highlights of my visit. Although I do agreee that the surrounding area needs to be developed, the proposed structure is overbearing and would detract from the Goal and its significance. Renaming the structure does not change that fact. I hope for your success in opposing the construction of this structure. I'm planning on returning to Ireland in March and I know that Kilmainham Goal will on my list of sights to see. Sharon Sloan, Millersville, Maryland USA
CommentsAll I can imagine is the thousands of Republicians (held in kilmainham jail) bowing down on one knee, as the news spread of Micheal Collins Death. Oh yes while there building, why dont they pave over Glasnevin while their at it.Brooklyn, New York USA
CommentsOnce again, though perhaps too late, I strongly object to the new planning application by Treasury Holdings of 20th July, 2001 (ref 2217/01). There is no justifiable reason to denigrate the neighorhood with an even taller barn than before, and the re-naming of the buildings to incorporate the memory of a hero is a mockery at best. Dublin Corporation, listen to the people and for once preserve the historical integrity of a neighborhood and develop it in line with best use practices and needs. Another office block isn't the answer.
CommentsThe proposed development at Kilmainham will destroy the appearance of one of Dublins few attractive locations. The disregard shown in this proposal for the needs and wishes of the local community is unworthy of any organisation claiming to represent them. The decision makers should remember who they are ultimately employed and / or elected by. Gillian Roche Ballyfermot Dublin 10
CommentsI am from Paris, Kentucky in Bourbon County, USA. I,with three of my daughters and one granddaughter, visited the jail this past June. It was the most inspiring part of our trip. I guess you could call it inspiring?? I had lots of chills up and down my spine. I have read Walter Macken's Irish Trilogy. The jail brought things "alive" for me. I wish that I could help in your endeavor. My ancestors are from Ireland, my name being McGee. It was wonderful being there for 10 days in June. I have never met such friendly people. Every one was so accomidating and gracious.The land is beautiful, the flowers are beautiful the sheep wonderful. You have the best butter I have ever tasted and the salmon was great. Up the queen! sincerely BOCOFarm@aol.com (Mary Jo McGee Anderson)
CommentsSave the Jail. I amn sure that there are other places in Dublin that could be developed. I was just there in June and see no reason for you to desecrate this ground. Name is after one of the brave men who died there??NEVER!!!!!! I hope to come to Ireland yearly. One place I want to visit each year is the jail. A most inspiring place!
CommentsI am from Louisville, Kentucky in the States. Of all the places I visited in Dublin by far the most impressive and truly meaningful to me was my visit to the Kilmainham Gaol. I am right now in the middle of reading Last Words, the book of letters and statements of the leaders of the rising at Easter. Please do not allow this development to go any further. It sounds like it will ruin the impressive facade by possibly diminishing the visual effect on the visitor. Something more in keeping with the area and what it stands for historically makes more sense to me and to others I am sure.(I am sending you the information asked for below but I do not know my country code for my phone number. Sorry!!)
CommentsMary Taylor( Dublin Corporation) see your hideout on the SCR is coming on nicely really looking forward to giving you a warm welcome to our place, so your all set to see your infamous IAP roll along and well planned out with the vulture developers. All ready to butcher this old place,we think it's most appropriate that you have chosen to set up camp in what was previously a BUTCHERS SHOP!! Again welcome to Kilmainham looking forward to seeing you, if your ever in !!
CommentsI believe that the Jail would be diminished by this development. Please reconsider and adopt something more appropriate. It is an important symbol that resonates in the hearts of people everywhere. Chandler, AZ, USA
CommentsKilmainham Jail is the most amazing place i have ever visited. Not only in Ireland but anywhere i have been!! You must keep this national Tresure!! Simon Gray Llantrisant Wales
CommentsI wish to add my voice to those strongly objecting to the proposed construction across from Kilmainham Gaol. This is not appropriate use of this property. With the large number of visitors having no amenities in the area, it would be far more sensible to construct a suitably designed place to encourage even more people to visit. A restaurant, historical museum, gift shop, chapel could be incorporated into a design in keeping with the historical significance and appearance of the gaol. I intend to visit Ireland, and Kilmainham Gaol is very near the top of my list of places to visit. I would not like to see a modern office eyesore across the street. I am an American of Irish heritage of which I am extremely proud. Thank you for your consideration of my views on this matter.
CommentsDont do this, my grandfather was once a resident of the gaol itself!, we must protect our heritage Dublin
CommentsYet another disgrace by the Government. They are slowly but surley pissing everyone in the country off in one way or another. The thing is if any of us mere mortals wanted to build a modest little house in Dublin we'd probably get refused permission by the planning authority yet permission can be given for developments like this. So much for the tribunals. Obvioulsy there are still a lot of dirty politcians/councilers out there. Assholes. I live in Kilminham in Bow Bridge House. Check out http://www.wefew.com for another chance to have your say about the state of the nation.
CommentsSpeaking as a Londoner with Irish roots and one who has witnessed on my many visits to Dublin the so many modern buildings that have been built in the city and not one of them a building of any architectural merit other than simple function. What are the schools of Irish architecture producing for these times, architectural clones with only verticle type cognitive designs, NO LATERAL THINKING what so ever, simple slaves to developers. Inner city Dublin oficials, THE CORPORATION I think they are called no vision for this so perfect and unique site. No office blocks would be permitted for instance right in the face of the Tower of London or adjacent to any other "top drawer" historical monuments or attractions. I have studied the images of these office blocks and they belong in some office park or more suitable place. Ireland's Kilmainham Jail should not be impinged upon and its architecture and historical importance dwarfed by the simple purpose and simple design of these office spaces.
Comments
CommentsShame on you!There are no other words to describe it.Shame on you!
CommentsPlanning Department??? Is this a suitable name I wonder.
CommentsSomething of such historical value should not be overshadowed by office blocks.
CommentsMy partner and | visited the jail last month for the first time and enjoyed this visual history of irish times and would be dismayed if the land around it would be the sight for a office block - dont do it!!!
CommentsI am the great grand daughter of Mr. Michael Stafford, one of the founders of the restoration and preservation of Kilmainham Jail and Courthouse. I object to this office block because it would not only take from the beauty of this historical Site but would also destroy part of my family history, culture and heritage.
Commentsthis is disgraceful, here again we see our heritage being eroded in the interest of good business. is it to be wood quay all over again?
CommentsAs an architecture student being educated in this city I feel that the proposed development is wholely inappropriate for the site and its surroundings. It is yet another example of Dublin Corporation's continuing failure to safe gaurd this country's architectural heritage.
CommentsI visited Kilmainham Jail this year when on holiday in Dublin and was highly impressed by it. I have recently heard that office blocks are planned near to it and that these would be high enough to diminish the status of the jail. I ask you to think again before deleteriously affecting a superb tourist attraction. Martyn Sheffield, Coventry, England.
CommentsI visited Kilmainham Jail this summer on my People to People Student Ambassador trip. It was an incredible experience. It would be a terrible shame to allow anything to disrupt the atmosphere of the building. Pensacola, Florida, United States
CommentsMy ancestors were from the Kilmainham area. Last week we visited the area and went into the Gaol. We were both fascinated and saddened by the history of the gaol and realise that it has an enormous historical significance to the whole of Ireland, not just Dublin. The area has a lot of charm, especially Old Kilmainham. It would be such a travesty and a great shame to build an office block in that area. So much of old Dublin has already been demolished, my ancestors homes no longer remain. Please do not ruin this old area any more with a huge office block. Although not far from Dublin centre, the traffic is not as bad as other peripheral areas of Dublin, an office block would increase congestion and it would be difficult for tourists to the area to park or explore the area and it would overshadow the gaol and completely ruin one of the remaining old areas of Dublin. I live in North Wales UK
CommentsKilmainham jail is not only part of Dublin's heritage, it is culturally important to Australia and Australians. Two of my great great great great grandmothers spent time in Kilmainham waiting for their trials and transportation to New South Wales. One of them, Sarah Cassidy, was born in Monaghan in 1797. She married Cormick Cassidy, and gave birth to four daughters and a son. In 1836 Sarah was tried at Monaghan for stealing clothes. She was transported to Kilmainham gaol in Dublin to await transportation to New South Wales. Prisoners at that time were transferred to Kilmainham seated on the top of a carriage, with chains around their waists, and must have felt great shame as they were exposed to the derision and jeers of the people along the way. When the convict transport Margaret sailed in January 1837 Sarah was allowed to take only two of her children with her, Elizabeth (or Bessie), then aged 8, and Maryanne aged 11. After Sarah's transportation three children were left to fend for themselves. As you can see Kilmainham is a part of my heritage, and I would wish it, and the adjacent area, to remain intact for the hundreds of thousands of Australians whose ancestors passed through its doors. I would also wish for coming generations to be able to visit. Regards Kerrie Stephens Melbourne Victoria Australia
CommentsI have visited Kilmainham 3 times and found it so moving. If anything it fills the vacuum the history books and films leave untouched. The building is a resting place for those that never left their mark on history, but struggled to survive against the backdrop of poverty that were a constant battle which so many fought against. I would like to think that Kilmainham will produce its own video as I wanted to bring the experience back to England with me in order to convey the atmosphere that cannot be contained in picture or recreated in conversation. I thought the film in the chapel was excellent and would have bought that if it was available. I could think of challenging a lot of ignorance over here with that! it would be great to come again, so please keep it open! I liked the guides with a great sense of soul expression. I loved the tale of Ernie O' Malley and the singing flame. My ideal job would be getting trained up to be a guide there! I live near an old prison here in England and after it closed at the start of the 1900's it became a greyhound track, then it fell into ruin and left as a dumping ground. Now they have built executive flats on the ground with exorbitant rents.The fortress front of the prison has been left intact(sandblasted) and the hideous wall around the complex. Don't repeat this at home! What a tragedy when you think that some of the prisoners that met their fate only yards from where I am sitting died of want and destitution and 'stole' a loaf of bread. They brought the prisoners from the small underground jail to this bigger one I have described above. The old jail is now a coffee shop, and even then I think that it takes on a cafe culture amid what should be revered.They advertise in the press that visitors can enjoy 'recreation' in the condemmed mans cell! It is NOT my cup of tea! Perhaps I am in the minority but I found Kilmainham gives recognition, history, and does not try to dilute the historical background out of which it was born. Yours sincerely Karen Walsh
CommentsI visited Kimainham Gaol in October and really feel that you should think again about the palned development as it might ruin what is a truely remarkable tribute to Ireland's proud history.
Commentsmy name is gary byrne and i now live in leixlip co kildare and i am originally from inchicore and i am totally against this development , i would like to know what measures are being made to stop this madness,
CommentsRe: Protecting Kilmainham Gaol Dear Sir/Madam, Kilmainham Jail is one of the most important historical sites in Ireland, and is a designated National Monument. The proposed office blocks are too large in relation to the Jail and would consequently diminish its stature. I agree, as a resident of Kilmainham, that the site opposite the Jail needs to be developed, but the national importance of the area and its close proximity to the Jail should be of paramount concern. 160,000 visitors came to see the Jail in 1999. These visitor's come from all over the world and visit the Jail to learn more about Ireland's history. Once their visit to the Jail and Museum is over, there are no local amenities for them to use. They must simply get on the bus and leave the area. The site should be developed with this sixth of a million visitors per year in mind, in addition to the local residents, who have little or no amenities in the area. I trust that you will give this campaign the due attention it deserves and listen to the voice of the people and reason. Sincerely yours, Sally-Anne McKeown
CommentsI object to the proposed office block on the grounds of aethetics.
CommentsI THINK THAT IT WOULD BE A CRIME OF THE HIGHEST ORDER FOR THE BUILDING OF THESE OFFICE BLOCKS TO GO AHEAD IN ONE OF THE LAST REMAINING PLACES THAT HOLD A HISTORICAL INTEREST AND PLACE IN THE HEARTS OF THE IRISH PEOPLE. TARA MULLEN DUBLIN
CommentsI object to the proposed office development beside Kilmainham Gaol
CommentsI wholeheartedly agree that the development of the sight opposite Kilmainham Goal should be in harmony with the existence of this National Monument. This is an area which is short on "village" amenities, so consideration should be given to developing this aspect of things. This would be of benefit, not only to existing residents, but also to the many visitors to the Monument. Gari McKeown, Shankill, County Dublin.
CommentsTo whom it concerns, I strongly support this campaign, so much so I have decided that this to be the main focal point of my final year thesis. I am a student in the Institute of Technology, Sligo, studying Interior Architecture. I have seen this beautiful area and have also seen the propsed destruction of this area. It is a shame to see the turn of the planning authorities in the past decade, this is Kilmaiham is just one exmple of what seems to be the future of Irish planning development. Sincerely Claire Higgins
CommentsIt is unbelievable to me as an Irishman that we can mistreat our own heritage so needlessly, especially when the area around the jail is so obvioulsy suited to a more cultural/commercial development, which would be more beneficial to both the jail and the community in Kilmainham.
CommentsAs a Dublin resident I am very concerned about the plans for offices overlooking Kilmanham Gaol. Why does the development need to be so large and why can't some amenities suitable for vistors be included. Integrated solutions need to be looked at more then merely plonking a massive office block beside one of our most important national monuments. Public space and public enjoyment of an area needs to be considered alongside mere economic criterea.
CommentsIt seems a nonsense to me that Dublin Corporation spend so much time and money trying to reviltalise the Kilmainham/ Inchicore area andn then turn around and allow this eyesore to go ahead. It also makes fools of the well-intentioned elected councillors who are powerless when it comes to matters like this. I had hoped that that John Fitzgeralds time as city manager would deliver so much more for the city than his predecessor, but this now appears little more than wishful thinking.
Commentsto allow the proposed develompment nixt to this most important site in ireland's receant history is a complete discrace and a insult to the people of ireland both at home and abroad
CommentsSirs, I have recently seen a web site detailing the proposed development close to Kilmainham Gaol on Dublins South Side, I would like to express my concerns that a commercial development may not be the most approperate for such an historical area. I will be looking at the progress of this application, and would like to voice my oppinion in oppsition to the proposed development. Regards David Gaynor
Commentsi am from n.irelad and i am not happy with the future plas, i am 14 and visited the jail last year, i am trying to find out about my great grandmother who spent time there and signed her name in a book, this book was removed from the jail and i am trying to find out more about her and where this book has gone to. what you plan to do would spoil irish landmark history, i am studying irish history in school at the minute, the act of union, home rule, land league, land war etc and it is a shame to come along and spoil history by building a building taller than the jail, it would just take the look of irish landmark history and make it seem like nothing, i disagree with your future plans and hope that you too will see sense ito NOT going ahead with the building work you have planed thank you.
CommentsDont destroy our heritage.Remember that people gave everything in that jail,for the freedom of Ireland.Build your offices somewhere else.What is proposed amounts to sacralige.
CommentsPlease do nothing to take away from the importance of this historic place. It is part of our history.
CommentsHi, I'm a 21 year old college student from the US, specifically New York. I studied in Dublin for five months last year and I took a trip to the Kilmainham Jail. I thought that it was a great musuem and what history it has in it! The feeling you get when you walk into the main court yard and see all of those cells and that set of stairs! Kilmainham is an unbelievable treasure of history and should be left as is and appreciated for what it is worth.

CommentsKilmainham Gaol will prevail and stand tallest over the banality of office blocks.
CommentsI live in Preston, Lancashire in England and visit Dublin once or twice a year. History is to be celebrated and the area around the gaol should be left alone ( if building work HAS to happen, then why not have it reflect the area )? There has been a shadow cast over Ireland for centuries from it's neighbour, now Irish people want to cast a shadow over their own history. SHAME ON YOU. John Mac.
CommentsGreat Site! Very impressive...I'm going to tell our visitors about it: <a href="http://www.oldfashionedblocks.com">Wooden Blocks</a>
CommentsIt sickens me the way in which our heritage and culture can be overlooked in such a manner. For shame......
CommentsRe: Tadhg Mac Giolla Whatever. Do you write Irish as badly as you write English?
CommentsI am appalled by this projected development. I visited Dublin for the first time last year, and was delighted by the way the city has kept its looks, and is not disfigured by too many modern office blocks like most European capitals. If this sort of unrestricted development goes ahead, Dublin will just become like everywhere else. What is needed on this site is a restrained block in traditional style with visitor facilities. Robert SIssons - Kent, England
CommentsIt is an enormous insult to Irish history and to one of its most important landmarks that these blocks will be allowed. Preserve the precious!
CommentsVincent McCarthy. Sunderland.England. I strongly object to the proposed office blot opposite Kilmainham jail. It would be an insult to the memory of all of the true heroes of the struggle and to attempt to curry favour by using Sean Hueston's name is diabolical.

CommentsWe should keep Kilmainham Jail as a monument for all thoese felons who passed thourgh that hellhole
CommentsI don't get it. Companies of this size have a responsibility to the environment in which they locate themselves. Unless they believe they can get away with it, I suspect. So who is allowing this? With the general election approaching, this is an issue we can all stress when being canvassed for votes.
CommentsI think that Dublin Corporation should not allow the proposed building to go ahead. Lift your heads above the parapet and realise that with tourism being one of our more lucrative industires now - you should be taking care of the likes of Kilmainham Jail and the surrounding area. Of course you should use the space for something - but why not some local industries or crafts, cosy little pubs or restraunts - when you have the tourists in the area you should try to keep them in the area and help them to spend cash which will in turn revitalise the area. In my own city of Kilkenny - the only major attraction is the castle - but by god the local business people know that once you get them to an area you should then provide them with an oppertuinity to spend. the whole community benefits. Listen to the people running and supporting the jail. There are enough office spaces in that city.
Commentsin my opinion any attempt by any person or persons to degrade our wonderful heritage such as kilmainham is loathsome and i pray that the ghost of our brave murdered heros shall haunt them and theirs forever.N.SHANNON SAGGART CO DUBLIN
CommentsI think that it would be a great tragedy not to mention a disrespectful act towards the people of ireland to carry on with the proposed development.The jail is a monument to the noble men and women who freed dublin from Londons yoke and as such must be preserved.Paul james Curtis,Glasgow Scotland
CommentsI am from the USA but am of Irish descent, and still have relatives in Ireland. Please, please protect this important piece of history! It is part of my heritage, and I want my granddaughter to be able to see it when she can appreciate it. She just turned two years old, and thanks to the beautiful music of Frank Patterson and also the Three Tenors, she knows every word to the haunting song,"Grace". By the way, she doesn't even talk much yet, but can sing many songs recorded by these wonderful men. "grace" is one of her three favorites. We plan on being there for the unveiling of the Frank Patterson statue,and would like to visit this site during our trip. How tragic if this very important monument were to be lost.... Sincerely, Cathy Connelly 737 F Street NW Ardmore, Okla. 73401
CommentsIt would be much better to develop the area with tourism in mind.
CommentsIt is about time we started to look after the few remaining vestages of our historic buildings we have left. It is sad to say that I am 37 years old and have to explain to my nephew where the mill stood in Mount Brown and where the old Dublin Union stood on top of the hill. I also told him about the plaque the was erected on the mill wall for the men that gave their lives there,to build this state.Theres no plaque there now and no mill either, and they have started to demolish the old Union building.The history of Kilmainham is dwindling fast,most people don't know about St.Johns well or the sacred fire of the Knights of Templer or the standing stone on Bullies acre, thats as old as time itself, or of the place of the original Kilmainham jail that stood on the site of Faulkners terrace long before the impressive 1796 jail was built. But because they don't know, dose not mean that they should have it taken away from them by the very people that should be edcuating them about such history.Our government has a right to the people of Ireland and the peoples of all nations to inhance this sight with all the facilities to widen the scope for tourism,cafes,tourist info offices,car parks ,Hotels, shops and all that goes with it. In this way the government will also be helping the people of the area by creating jobs in an area which has long been forgotten.When I was a very small kid I saw Dev give a speech at the gates of the jail, he looked over to a building that gave work to the people of the area and then to their children. But if he were alive today would he be able to look across the street at a building that did the same or at a building that stands out like a bowling ball on a snooker table and a staff that knows nothing and cares nothing for the area that the are bussed or driven in to and out of a 5pm. Regards, Paul Carroll
CommentsI read in the Irish Times today of the hearing by An Bord Pleannala on the future of this site. Lest the developers cite that objections have waned and use this website as an example of that supposition, let me restate my objection to anything other than 2 storey amenity buildings to compliment the fabric of the gaol and green space between it and the road and retention of all trees. This website and its archive now stands as a testament to well reasoned objection to the proposed development.The Bord have served Athlone well in preventing the development of the Big Meadow site and saving it for the corncrake and our natural heritage. Lets hope our historical and built heritage will be preserved by their decision on Kilmainham. Yours in Hope, Dr. Dara Fitzpatrick
CommentsBest of luck with the hearing, a stop needs to be put to this development
CommentsI support 100% the campaign to protect Kilmainham Jail and the outlining areas. I would also support them in their calls for an appropriate development of a heritage centre or park. The proposed development has no architectural merit for the this historical area of Dublin and it's sheer scale is nothing short of crass as it completely dwarves everything around it. It's location will destroy the Kilmainham Jails unique position on the landscape as this proposed development is nearly twice it's height. Surely somebody from the planning office recognises that this structure is totally inappropriate for this area, or have learnt nothing from the horrendous mistakes and irrevocable damage and vandalism committed to Georgian Dublin, Wood Quay etc., etc., etc.
CommentsBeing an American, the thing I treasure most in my visits to Ireland is that you appear to value your history, your momuments, your buildings. Please don't disappoint me. Find another solution--I'm sure with many great minds working together you can find a happy medium.
CommentsOk, so I never heard of the place. I’m an Aussie who was doing a search for some poem by some Irish poet laureate I never heard of either when I ran across this website. I wonder if in 30 years the site will look like the Alamo in Texas - a hugely significant historical site surrounded and almost lost in a canyon of downtown development. My God! This plan is more than historically irresponsible - it's culturally reprehensible! When we ever learn? When issues involve a historic site we really should be thinking 100 years ahead, instead of a profit in 5. There! You’ve now been politely bitched at from halfway around the world! Now off to find a copy of “Sanctity” by Patrick Kavanaugh.

CommentsSorry about the double entry! I think I bounced my mouse key. So you got it twice from me. Good. The plan's so stupid it deserves it.
CommentsAs both child and woman i have pased by kilmainham gaol and helped many a tourist find their way to the gaol and told them about all the other places of historical intrest and beauty in the local area it would be a travesty to let the gaol be over shadowed by an office block it would be another christ church-wood quay scenario I live in Dublin
CommentsMonuments of national significance should and indeed must, remain unsullied by property developments. We in Scotland have not always heeded this basic lesson and the country is the poorer for it. I love Dublin and its heritage - lets keep it that way.
CommentsI just simply wish to ask the following question. Would one see a greedy application like the one proposed for the ancient district of Kilmainham even being considered in any capital city in Europe today and to front and dwarf a place of execution of a nation's fonding fathers ?? 2016 is only round the corner, this site should now be planned with that in mind.
CommentsI think the Jail is an extremely interesting and historical place which serves as a reminder to the atrocities served to the people of Ireland. Anyone who visits the Jail and goes on the tour will get a highly informative insight on what a tragic but inspiring history Ireland has. And Kilmainham jail has as big a part to play in that history as Edinburgh Castle has to Scottish history which anyone who has been to Edinburgh knows it would look pretty stupid with a block of flats as a backdrop so please dont blight the Historical look to this step back in time wonder. Glasgow, Scotland.
CommentsExactly would one see a backdrop of office blocks over looking PLace de la Bastille in Paris no one sees a fantastic opera hall etc. Office blocks would not be allowed to over look across the road from the Tower of London the Bradenburg gate in Berlin on nearer home St. John's Castle in Limerick, Kilkenny Castle or the Rock of Cashel - what a greedy and selfish scheme is Treasury's and Dublin Corporations plans for Kilmainham and only feet away from Kilmainham Gaol. Has nothing changed same old ways carrying on some 35 years after Wood Quay.
CommentsAmd to add - where the hell is Miss Sile de Velera our beloved Minister for Heritage the Arts the Islands blah blah Minister for anything and everything except Kilmainham Gaol-what an irony, her grandfather the Late Irish President Eamon or "Dev" must be turning in his grave and he was the last prisoner/leader of the 1916 Rebellion to be released from Kilmainham Gaol.
Comments
CommentsIwould like to add my objection to the proposed development at Kilmainham. I have been a visitor to the jail on every occasion I visited Dublin and endorse the comment that there is nothing to keep visitors in the area once their visit is over. Greater recognition should be made of this site. I visited an Irish website recently and found that there was no entry for Kilmainham. I sent a letter to the site and received a apologetic reply that it was a tremendous oversight on their part. Please do not make the same mistake.I was born in Belfast but now live in England. I have relatives in Dublin and visit regularly. LEST WE FORGET!
CommentsIt would be a shame to see a monument to the long struggle of Ireland for freedom to be overshadowed by another monument to commerce. San Diego California, USA
CommentsI am an American citizen of Irish descent who grew up in Europe. I was shocked to find this website and discover that the Dublin Planning Commission is possibly as shortsighted as San Antonio Texas was (I've been there several time - have actually lived there, and STILL have problems finding the Alamo, due to overconstruction!), or as Poland almost was, when it attempted to add a convent to Auschwitz. Someone makes a reference to Dachau - I have been there, and a large part of the initial emotional impact is approaching it, and knowing that I was seeing what the prisoners saw when they first arrived. I've been to cities like Rothenburg, a medieval walled city where cars aren't even allowed! I've been to Paris, and seen the open spaces left around their national treasures. As I said, I grew up in West Berlin, where the only historical building/monument that is cheek-to-jowl with something modern is the Kaiser Wilhelm Gedãchtnes Kirche. It is the ruins of a church, and a new church was built on the same site, as it was still consecrated land. I could go on for hours. If this land is properly developed, with a view towards ENHANCING history, and also providing places for the tourists - both before and after they visit the jail, not only would it be more fitting, but, as the developers should consider, a lot larger longterm profit would appear. I have lived in Orlando, FL, where an entire industry has built up around tourism. Nobody there can say that Disney - who insisted on keeping an area thematic, made a financial error! Looking at the dates, this might already be a moot point (it is March 20, 2002), but if not, I beg the city planners and developers, as a history lover, lifelong traveler, inveterate tourist, AND former real estate broker (so my views aren't just opinion - also based on training and business), to reconsider this plan, and ask the developers to use the space more wisely. We here in America often make foolish long term decisions, in hope of short term results. I sincerely hope you are greater than that.
CommentsMy name is Christopher Higgins and I am from Massachusetts in the United States. I am of Irish heritage. Last summer I went to ireland for a week with my family and we visited the Kilmainham Jail or Gaol, which I found very interesting. It was thing that I was looking forward to visiting in Dublin! The Kilmainham is very important, it is the symbol of what the Irish people fought for and endured! It reminds me of what my family has endured. Please do not doing anything to the Kilmainham Gaol, leave it be!
CommentsThe space/site opposite Kilmainham Jail would be better developed as a Cultural/Heritage centre. With emphases on Irish/English relations. - John Kinsella.
Commentsi visited kilmainham jail in 2000'after years of living in "clara county offaly as a child and then manchester england it was always in the back of my mind to visit the jail. i finally realised this ambition and was greatly influinced by my visit and went on to write a software programm around its history especially its part in the 1916 uprising.I am horrified to hear of this proposal and would like to express my total objection'i hope you have had a good response and this area remains untouched. James Weir.
CommentsI am from Vancouver, BC Canada Very well done site but don't build the office block! Keep the open spaces! I came here in search of information about the old Gough Statue that was once in Phoenix Park. I understand it is now somewhere in Kilmainham. Please email with any info you have. Thanks
CommentsAs a past visitor to Kilmainham Jail, I feel that Dublin would be doing itself a terrible injustice if these offices were given permission to be built. Progress is not always right. Didn't a similar thing happen down by the Liffey River several years ago when commercial properties were given precidence over the archelogical remains of a viking settlement? We must learn from our errors. Please don't let history repeat itself. Ireland has too important and colourful a history to let developers cast it aside for personal profit. Please rethink this project. Good luck please do the right thing. We (my family) love your county and it's people. Thank you - John J. McNamara and family.
CommentsAny development in the immediate area of Kilmainham gaol should reflect the historical context of the gaol. The proposed office block development does not fulfill this requirement and so should not go ahead.
CommentsSeanán Ó Coistín, Cill Choca, Co. Chill Dara Aontaíom libh go h-iomlán. Ba chóir meas a bheith ann do Carcar Chill Mhaigh Máinn. Lean leis an obair mhaith.
CommentsAs a teacher of History in the UK I am committed to teaching British school students the history of the relationship between Ireland and Britain from an objective a viewpoint as possible. As part of that enterprise, I regularly bring senior students to Dublin to experience the history firsthand. The highlight of our visits has always been the time spent at Kilmainhaim Gaol.No other monument in Ireland can be as important as this in bringing to life the birth of the Irish Nation.It remains a living tribute to those who were incarcerated and who died here in the name of Irish Nationalism. As a foreign and British observer I cannot believe that an Irish Republican Dublin Corporation would even consider burying such an important monument under office blocks and sacrificing Irish heritage on the altar of Capitalism.
CommentsPlease save the jail and it's surrounding areas from overdevelopment. We will be visiting in May and plan on visiting the jail.
CommentsI live in Dublin, Ireland. I have visted many sites in Kilmainham and my most favourite is the Jail and Hospital they are a time within themselves they fill you with experiences and feelings from the time you walk in to when you leave, it touches you in a way that never really leaves you. The only other place in the world that can recreate that strong a sense of loss, hurt, anger and such emotion is Ellis Island. We cannot allow one of the most wonderful pieces of heritage that we have become another block of modern thrash.
CommentsHow many times and in how many ways do we need to say it - scrap the current plans for the proposed redevelopment of Kilmainham/Inchicore... Nobody with an ounce of intelligence or historic pride wishes this to happen. Here's an idea...why not use the site to build a state of the art library and local information centre -(rehouse the current Inchicore Library within); add a decent eating place with some fine Irish fayre (possibly traditional Dublin food); commission an architect with a bit of vision and talent to actually design this building/s which would complement the national monuments of Kilaminham Gaol and the royal hospital(IMMA)and not overshadow them... OR JUST ASK THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY REALLY WANT!! It was just a thought....
Commentslets not do with kilmainhan jail what we did to christchurch, we dont want another woodquay john jordan, jersey channel isles
CommentsI believe Kilmainham Jail to be such a significant landmark in Ireland's history, and Dublin's geography as to warrant it's protection from the proposed office buildings; I have visited it many times and always with a sense of awe. There are so many places to build offices, let's not put them here. Please !
CommentsWe visited Dublin and the jail last week. The trip around was very good and to build modern building around this area would totaly spoil the atmosphere. We can get modern building anytime, lets keep this piece of history as it is now. The Black Country Nr. Birmingham England
CommentsFrom Kilmanham Road Next to Jail Totally disapprove of this it will make little of the National monument that we have in kilmanham jail. I think to replace the building that is there would be of a help but I feel what they are doing with the old rowtre building is letting it go to ruin and then public option will be so high to clean it up that the planners will get their wish Is this what we have come to, putting apartments anywhere we feel like it for profit. Dublin corporation should be comletely ashamed of themselves , have they no diginity isn't the spike enough for them to mess up. Ian O Brien 41 Inchicore road kILMANHAM

CommentsPauline Hughes from Sussex, England. Having seen the posters on nearby houses on a recent trip back to Kilmainham, I am disgusted to find out, through this website, of the proposed building work. Kilmainham Gaol is the most significant building in Irish History - important enough for a comittee to be formed and succeed in the almighty task of the gaol's restoration. To lessen the Gaol's impact through building tall buildings nearby would be criminal. The corporation has a responsibilty to ensure that the Gaol remains a monumental figure and it's place within history maintained to the highest level.
CommentsI am from Oklahoma, USA and plan on making my first trip to Ireland with my granddaughter this summer. One of the main things we want to see is Kilmainham Gaol. There is a lot of family history as well as nati0onal history there. Please don't diminish the importance of this landmark! Cathy Connelly
CommentsI am a resident of the US. I recently visited the jail. My visit to the jail was the most emotional part of my visit to Ireland. I can understand the need to improve the area around the jail. I don't think that this should include anything that dimishes the stature of what took place in the jail. It is a treasure and should be treated as such. Bill McElrath
CommentsWhat are you doing irish heritage should be kept to remind us of what we fought for!
CommentsKilmainham is an important part of our history which needs to be protected for future generations. Please don't destroy it, it means more than I can say to myself and everyone at home and abroad. Don't destroy it.
CommentsI am from the United States of America and am of Irish decent. I have visited Kilmainham several times during my visits to Ireland and have always appreciated the historical importance of the jail. The tours have improved each time I have come. I can't say enough about how important coming there is to visitors to Ireland. I am currently planning a trip for a group of people to visit Ireland and have prominently put Kilmainham on our list of must dos. You can't visit Ireland without visiting Kilmainham. I have told our travelers to expect to come away with a valuable experience, a learning of Irish history unparralled anywhere else. I have told them to expect to be moved and informed. They will have a better appreciation of their heritage and the struggles they have only heard of in passing. I agree that the area should be developed to further enhance this experience and preserved for future generations.
CommentsMy great grandfather was imprisoned in this jail after the 1867 uprising.He was exiled to Canada and we are now in the USA. In 2000 during my visit to Dublin, the first thing I wanted to see with my 6 cousins was this building. Please treat it with care.
CommentsI would have thought by now that common sense would have prevailed and that the planninig authorities would have recognised the value of Kilmainham as a national monument, ranking alongside the GPO in importance. As a tourist attraction it would appear to be most successful if measured by the visitor figures for recent years. Many important monuments across Europe have been blighted by inappropriate developments. Will this be another one? The planners no doubt will be assured of their place in history if the office block development goes ahead. I would imagine that the Kilmainham guides will take great pleasure in publicising the names of the guilty parties as they conduct visitors around the gaol. Your names will be immortalised - in ignominy !!
Commentsdon't destroy history . hands off Kilmainham from 2 friends of Kilmainham we're from Notts England but are interested in Irish history and ashamed of things that England did to Ireland
Commentsit is apart of irelands history and should be open to the public to rember.you would not pull the cenotaph inlondon down ? birmingham england
CommentsKilmainham Gaol has earned a unique position in Irish history. The proposal to build high rise office blocks, which would ultimately over shadow the building would with out doubt be to the detriment of our national heritage. Concerned citizen of Dublin.
Commentsi have visted the jail a couple of times its a great place it would be sad to see anything to happen to it.....
CommentsWhen I first visited Dublin in 1998, Kilmainham was one of the first places I chose to visit in the city, and without a doubt, the most powerful. I have extolled its power and virtues to many friends, including countless Irish friends who have never been there. PLEASE preserve the character of this crucially important landmark. No office building is as important as Dublin's heritage.
CommentsPlease don't ruin the beauty of the past!!
Commentsi agree, there are too many office blocks being built! this will totally spoil the veiw of the jail and will takeaway from the historic look andfeel of the town. office blocks are normally thrown up anywhere where there is a spare space and they are without taste and culture. personally i find most of these bulidings ugly, modern things which is not what tourists want to see.
CommentsAs a young lad, living in Ballyfermot and having a wish to learn about the "great world beyond" Dublin, I spent many hours on a Sunday afternoon walking around the interior of Kilmainham Jail. To me it represented the hugeness of life outside my awareness, but I was always very affected by the sense of history that pervaded the whole place. After the usual tourists left, I would linger awhile and savour the importance of the place. I have now moved to England and guess what? I am a Residential Manager (Principal Officer)and in charge of half of Norwich Prison!! So it must have had some effect upon me. I would be very sad to see the place devalued in any way. It is a sad reminder to all of the people of Ireland that not all brave and good citizens get their rewards on this planet.
CommentsI am a serving prison officer from Glasgow, Scotland. I was one of the visitors to Kilmainham in 1999. I was overwhelmed by the feeling of forboding and awe which came over me as I approached the jail. I feel it would ba an absolute travesty if the skyline of Kilmainham was changed. The jail is not only of extreme historical and political importance, but it is a landmark of rarely seen judicial architecture.
CommentsDear Sirs, My maiden name was Nora Byrne and I am from Kilmainham. My father and all his family were born and raised in Brookfield Road. It would be a crying shame to build a monstrosity like an office block opposite Kilmainham Jail. It would not be in keeping with the surroundings and would totally take away from the character of the area. Please re-think this and plan a development of more use to the area.
CommentsI recently returned to the USA after a vacation in Ireland. While I was there, I had the opportunity to visit Kilmainham Jail. It was a deeply moving experience. Although I am an American citizen, I am of Irish ancestry. Kilmainham Jail is an important landmark not only for the Irish people, but for people of Irish decent in America and the rest of the world. It would be a shame to have such a landmark cheapened by putting up office blocks, or, in american fashion (we love to cheapen our landmarks), a strip mall or parking lot. Part of what I loved most about Ireland was the way the Irish seem to respect their land and history. There are plenty of places to build office buildings. Please do not build one next to Kilmainham Jail.
CommentsKilmainham Jail is an awesome site to behold in this 21st century. Upon arriving, it's immense size and construction gives one a sense of what it felt like to a family in the 19th century who may have had a loved one incarcerated there for some crime. What it would have felt like to visit their family member in such an immense structure when compared to what the people usually lived in. Part of the charm of Ireland is that the monuments and parks are as they have always been. Pure and simple. I have always thought that the modern structures of the US could learn so much from our ancestors in "Old Country." Please do not go forward with the proposed office building and lose the importance of size when looking at such a monument to the stuggles and persistance of the Irish people to the building of Ireland. Thank your for your time and consideration. Gina Coughlin
CommentsI am from Cleveland, Ohio, USA. I have visited Kilmainham Gaol in 1996 and in 2000. It has been one of the highlights of our trip. I never felt so much history as I did in Kilmainham. It would be a shame to destroy the historical atmosphere of the neighborhood by putting in office space that would diminish such an important landmark of the people of Ireland.
CommentsAlthough I do agree that the land opposite Kilmainham Gaol should be developed, I believe that the development must help preserve the integrity and history of the gaol. As a former resident of Ireland, I worked in the close vicinity of the Gaol. It was one of my greatest pleasures to explore the historical and serene area surrounding the gaol. Please consider, not just the needs of the tourist, which brings a great deal of revenue into Ireland, but also the residents of Kilmainham and Ireland. To mar the historical beauty of this area would be doing all people a great disservice.
CommentsHaving Visited Kilmainham Gaol last month it is a fabulous testament to Irish History and must be preserved.
CommentsI traveled alone around Ireland in 1977 and met a crew from the BBC preparing to make a film in the Jail. I was given a private tour by the caretaker at that time, Mr. McGee. The place was dark, dank and chilling...and horrifying. To harm such a symbol of Irish history is unconscionable. I hope to come back to Ireland again to see restoration done on this building which has haunted me all these years.
CommentsWe are completely in opposition to any development that will diminish the appearance of the jail. As recent visitors, we were struck by the emotional history of the struggles of the Irish nationals. The jail is an international monument to freedom, and should be accorded the respect it deserves. Chris and Rebecca USA
CommentsOutside of Dublin Castle and the Main GPO, I can think of no other building which personnifies the fight for freedom and liberty of the Irish people as Kilmainham jail. It would be an international tragedy and demeaning to the memories of countless Irish patriots to have this office building allowed to be built directly across the street from the Jail.
CommentsThed integrity of Kilmainham Gaol and envrions must be maintained at all costs. The proposed development will not be "progress;" it will ruin a treasure -- a perfect piece of Irish/Irish-American history. Bill Halpin Washington, DC
CommentsPlease re-consider the location / building of these office blocks. As an Irish citizen born and reared in Dublin I am disgusted that Dublin Corporation should allow this development to go ahead .Old Dublin has been destroyed enough with the multitudes of apartment / office blocks being built in recent years.Tourists don't visit the city to see this,or have we learned nothing from past mistakes e.g WoodQuay. While on one hand Dublin Corporation are trying to reduce traffic conjestion in the City, it seems a contradiction to continue building large high rise office blocks which result in higher volumes of traffic. Please reconsider the building of these office blocks beside two buildings of such historic importance i.e the Jail and hospital. Let common sense and pride of our city prevail.
CommentsI am against altering or changing Kilmainham Gaol. My grandmother, Florence Quinn, fought for Ireland's freedom in the 1922 rebellion and was, as a result, interred in Kilmainham...we must save our past and learn from it.
CommentsI am living in Co. Down and my name is Séan Kelly. I find it totally disturbing that there is even a possibility that an ugly, commercial monstrosity is being planned opposite a national monument of such importance. Kilmainham Gaol is a poignant reminder of the continuous incarceration of Irishmen throughout the many rebellions, their only crime, being their quest for Irish freedom. Those who diminish such a monument do themselves diminish the foundations of the Republic today, imperfect though it may currently be. It is shameful that consideration should given in any way to any building that should detract from the Gaol. The Gaol is not just a building, but a focalpoint for Irish freedom, an integral part of Irish history, and a continuing beacon to those who still seek Irish unity.
CommentsI visited Ireland for the first time in March of this year. As a 45 year old Irish-American, there were two places that were on my "must see" list, not just of Dublin, but of the whole country. Kilmainham Jail was one of the two sights. To allow any building in the surrounding area to detract from this monument, this beacon to freedom would be a travesty.
CommentsI'm from Kent, England, and am horrified to hear about the possiblity of an office development being built opposite Kilmainham Gaol. I visited the Gaol in May this year with some friends and we found it completely fascinating. We knew very little about Irish history before our tour of Kilmainham but the guide was informative, enthusiastic and excellent. We and all the visitors with us were completely mesmorised.. I don't think you should destroy the area around Kilmainham by building something such as a huge office block - rather whoever is responsible should make provision for visitors - we had quite a long walk back into Dublin centre after our visit. It's important to preserve the environment and atmosphere of a monument where so many people gave up so much for their country and beliefs. It's part of Ireland's cultural heritage!

CommentsIn 1999 I went back to Dublin for a visit, and thus went to Kilmainham Gaol. I fully agree that the surrounding area should not be developed as it would take so much away form the total atmosphere. An integral part of Irish History along with many individuals heritage will be wiped away with such desecration.
CommentsI think the prosposed development is a disgrace, surely there are other places in Dublin where this develpomet would be more suitable. As a History graduate, Kilmainham gaol to me is a site of much intrigue and indeed historical value along with the GPO, and every vistitor will tell you of the Goals ambience, of both tragedy and sadness . Dublin city's centre has been destroyed by big business and gross commercialism, just take a look at O'Connell street, we have no control or say over the governments wish to put a huge spike (of all things) in the middle of this street, surely our voices will be heard over this gross proposel which will destroy the ambience of the jail. When a vistitor arrives at the jail, the first thing that hits them is the fact that the facade of the jail is untouched and authentic and is indeed a very striking building ,if one looks at old photographs or even an artists impression of the gaol, this can be clearly seen, they feel as they walk into the jail, that they are walking the same tragic path as Plunkett, Pearse, Ceannt and many other heroes of Irish nationalism, but if they see a huge office block overshadowing the Gaol , I have no doubt that the authenticity of the jail's facade will be seriously in doubt and will not be as impactful as it is at the moment. Please think about this carefully and put Irish history and culture before big business. lisa Dolan Greystones Co. Wicklow
CommentsI am a college student who is currently attending Indiana University of Pennsylvania, USA. I have been to Kilmainham Gaol, and I when I left, I was in complete aw. Not only because two of my favorite movies, "In the Name of the Father" and "Michael Collins" were filmed there, but because Kilmainham has played such a significant role in Ireland's history. To level Kilmainham and turn it into an office block would be an insult to the Irish patriots who lost their lives there, as well as to all of Ireland.
CommentsAlthough I now live in Los Angeles, USA. I was born and raised in Dublin. I had the honor of being a volunteer tour guide in Kilmainham Gaol for several years, and the time I spent behind her walls (my wife called the gaol "my grey mistress") was the most moving and significant time of my life. I am saddened to see the ugly monstrosity that is proposed for across from the gaol. The Rowntree building was not beautiful, but at least Rowntree was a great friend to the gaol, they paid for the audio visual presentation in the chapel, the staff would look out for any intruders when the gaol was closed. This development is awful. Have we learned nothing from the Wood Quay debacle? Do we care about nothing except money nowadays? Please do not let this awful building project go ahead.
CommentsI had the privellage of visiting this fantastic monument on Saturday 14th September 2002. After the sterling work put into the project by the volunteers to restore this prison it would be nothing short of a tragedy if Ireland was to lose part of its heritage. IT MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO DIE!!!!! Kevin Dixon Middlesbrough England

CommentsAlthough i live in Scotland, i believe that if you build these proposed office blocks, that it would degrade this historical sight and it would therefore loose visitors! You cant possibly do this to such a place wich plays a major role in Irish history!!

CommentsDO NOT TARNISH THIS IMPORTANT MONUMENT. I have just returned from a lovely weekend in beautiful Dublin and I visited Kilmainham and the gaol, and i must say, it was one of the highlights of the trip, i was deeply affected by what i learned on this visit. Surely these offices can be built elsewhere in the city.
CommentsMy partner and I had the privilege of visiting Kilmainham Jail during a recent visit to Dublin and we would be appalled to see this significant memorial site to Irish Patriotism blighted by such modern architectural intrusions.
CommentsMy wife and I visited Kilmainham Jail many years ago on one of our fifteen trips to Ireland. At that time we did not realize the historical significancea as we do now. My parents were bothe born in Ireland and it is a country, even with its tragic history of oppression, I love. Now that we know more about Kilmainham and its great Irish martyrs we hope it will be revered as the seat of ultimate Irish freedom.
CommentsAs one who will visit Ireland for the first time in March-April of 2003, and as one who has continued to read and learn of Irish history, I think it is important that placeas like Kilmainham Gaol remain a focal point in their immediate environment. To errect edifaces that would detract from such an important place in the history of your country is to symbolically say, "Forget history." Rev. John D. Kepler, USA
CommentsMy wife and I recently visited Dublin on a two-week ireland holiday. During our stay in Dublin, the Kilmainham Jail was one of the most moving and thought provoking sites we visited anywhere in Ireland. It was a real thrill to be able to visit the site of so much important Irish history. To have access to the very jail cells where so many Irish heroes spent the last days of their lives was an experience I will never forget. My wife and I were also very impressed with the very low-key commercial aspects of the visit/tour. We both purchased some historic books from the jail museum, but it was refreshing to see that there was no selling of "Kilmainham Jail" tee shirts, caps, etc. We both want to go back for another visit some day, and hope we find the area around the historic Jail not resembling some U.S shopping mall! Sincerely, Robert Emmett Maher Sudbury, Massachusetts USA
CommentsThis must be protected as it is part of our history and our heritage. Our great marytrs died here for Ireland do not destroy this
CommentsHI,I am sorry to hear about progress near the Jail. I have visited the Jail 4-5 times since 1985 and prefer the Jail the way it was 10 years ago.I believe the Jail ranks with the Rock of Cashel,GPO and Dublin CastMost important sites for Americans to see and understand. I hope that the building project can be reduced.AEJ COLTS NECK ,NJ USA

CommentsI grew up in Ireland and return there as often as possible. I am proud of my heritage. My husband and I visited Kilmanham gaol this past summer. We wern't expecting anything more than an old building. Then we were there and we were gob smacked. It was as close to what it was with no frills or addons. We both left there with a tear in our eye and great pride in the people of Ireland and what they did to aquire the freedom enjoyed there today. I can not write this without choking up. Now I hear in the name of progress this place christned in blood is to be replaced. Please , please, don't let this happen. New buildings with no memories can be built any day of the week, but you wouldn't bother taking your grandchildren there to teech them of their heratage. That is what I plan to do so for the sake of all the Irish grandchildren to come don't do this thing.
CommentsI'm James Michael MccLain, in Denver Colorado, Denver County, USA, and thank god for the restoration of the historic Denver. The decidedly poor choice that Denver made years ago, building office blocks, demolishing history, took a positive turn when that view of growth was finally rejected, and restoration took place. You have what should never be lost, so don't make the mistake of giving in to the commercial developers, who destroy for dollars, what blood and history had built.
CommentsI am a french citizen,from Besancon,I visited Kilmainham 2 years ago,and hearing about this project to build blocks I wish to give my opinion:Kilmainham ought to keep its archetypical look in order to preserve its singularity.this place beeing surrounded by blocks will probably loose its emblematic and symbolic aspect.Kilmainham should remain as the "lighthouse" of Irish fight for freedom and independence,and not be disturbed by any commecial interest.
CommentsA decendent of Irish grandparents and first time visitor to Ireland and Kilmainham Jail in Dublin...this is hallowed ground and must be preserved and protected as a National Monument.
Commentswhen ever I would be in dublin I would always make my way to Kilmainham jail. I have brought many friends there from England and Scotland. Office blocks would spoil the very fabric of what the jail means to Irish history
CommentsKilmainham gaol is unique in the remarkable sense of atmosphere it has retained. I returned from a visit there two days ago and, as ever, walking thorough its corridors one could almost hear the footfalls and feel the presence of the leaders of the 1916 rebellion, of Emmett and of Parnell. Dublin, and Ireland, is honoured to have such a living memorial to the people who suffered and died in forging a nation. Dublin, and Ireland, should treat it with the reverence and love it deserves. The proposed office development on Inchicore Road is overbearing, intrusive and would destroy the unique character of the gaol. Kilmainham is sacred. Please treat it as such.

CommentsHello,I am from Nampa, Idaho,USA. I too believe that the property needs developing but, not at the cost of the importance of Kilmainham to Dublin and the Irish people. I spent two weeks in Ireland this past August and had the most moving and enjoyable holiday of my entire life. I was crushed to here about Dublin city hall being built on top of such an important site. I cant express in words truley how I felt when I heard of this proposed office site. In my two weeks in Ireland not one site in all of Ireland moved and touched me the way Kilmainham did and still does when I speek of this place. I have brought people to tears with my heartfelt words about Kilmainham . Please, Please, do something else with this land and build the offices someplace else.
CommentsMy name is Eileen Barker, and I live in the Detroit area of Michigan, in the United States. I take great pride in my Irish heritage and am now planning my first trip to Ireland for this summer. I have a great interest in touring Kilmainham Gaol, and am having trouble finding a tour group that includes it in their itinerary, presumably because it's future is so uncertain. Kilmainham Gaol is of great historic importance; a symbol of what so many ancestors endured to regain freedom for the Irish. It should be maintained in a manner of utmost dignity.

CommentsI visited Kilmainham Jail recently and it was one of the most moving experiences of my life. I shed a tear while in the chapel, not only for the republicans and nationalists who past that way, but also for the thousands of men, women and children who suffered so dreadfully in that place. It should stand forever, undisturbed, as a reminder to future generations of mans cruelty to man.
CommentsI recently visited Kilmainham with my two brothers. Our tour was lead by a passionate historian named Connor Masters. This informative young fellow compassionately served as a reminder that we possess God given rights of freedom and self-determination. In addition, that we must study history to prevent disasters in the future. This was our most memorable stop in Dublin! Lorrie, Chris and Collin McCarthy

Commentsi support completly what u r doing good work
CommentsPlease, put me on the top of the list of supporters.I visited the jail on January6th and had one of the most emotional experiences of my life.As an Irish-American from New YorkCity, I have had a roller coaster of Emotions.The Tour of Kilmainham has furthered my ride.Commiting,100% support! Thank You! J.C.M. West Milford,New Jersey. U.S.A.
CommentsI believe Kilmainham Jail should be preserved. I am from Sacramento, California, USA. My great grandfather was imprisoned there and I wish to see it. It will give me a better understanding of what my ancestors went through in their great love for Ireland. I would like future generations to be able to experience the same thing.
CommentsAn expatriate from Boston, Massachusetts My ancestor, Robert Emmet, was imprisoned in this very gaol. I have been there, in 1998, and it was breathtaking. People worked so hard to preserve this grim and stirring edifice. Clearly a modern office building would trivialize and diminish its somber and timeless magnificence. can you not read the comments of Ireland's people? Preservation takes money. If you can not be stopped, at least exercise some moderation, and discretion. Limit the height, and honor your surroundings with dignity, please. -Henry Emmet
CommentsI am very proud of my heritage and see the gaol in Kilmainham as a perfect representative of that heritage. It is steeped in history and has hundreds of fascinating stories linked to it. Kilmainham is a wonderful district of Dublin and although delapidated in parts is pleasant to be walking through. I feel that the presence of modern office blocks would diminidh the atmosphere surrounding the jail and would result in a negative loss to the museums character.
CommentsI was fortunate enough to visit Ireland this past spring and toured Kilmainham Jail and the surrounding area. This estate is a historic landmark that desperately needs to be protected. Once the feel and atmosphere of these buildings and surrounding area is lost it will never be regained. I know that the new buildings will be a benefit to the city and county in many ways. However, they simply dont belong in this neighborhood. Im sure that you will find a wonderful location for construction that meets all the requirements and also protects one of Ireland's most cherished landmarks. John Spence from St. Paul, Minnesota U.S.A.

CommentsI am strongly opposed to the proposed development at Kilmainham. The gaol represents much of Ireland's history and heartache from centuries past. A visit to the gaol is a sobering and thought provoking experience. Out of respect for the lives that were lost or changed there, I feel that a more appropriate or complimentary structure should be considered. Kelly Christie Ottawa, Ontario Canada Visitor in 2001
CommentsMy wife and I spent several days this past summer in Dublin and took our first trip to Kilmainham. We were in awe. Allowing developers to encroach on such an intrigal part of Irish history is not acceptable. Despite my ancestors coming to North Carolina in the 1750's, Ireland is still my ancestrial home. Preservation is a must.
CommentsWendy & Kieron from Worthing, England. We visited Tuesday 11 Feb 03, and was impressed with the tour, however, it would be nice to be able to visit more of the areas in the gaol that at the moment are inaccessible. It seems too large a building to keep most of it shut to the paying public who are interested in the history it provides. The areas we were able to visit, provided an excellent view of how prisoners were kept, and the conditions that they were kept in, it beggers belief, please try and keep this piece of history open.
CommentsHello I am from Holland, but i live since more then a year in Ireland. part of the reason I left Holland is that the landscape of the country is completely ruined by the modern office buildings. The tyranny of efficiency so called progress has replaced democracy. All the new houses they build look the same. Everything has become so clean and anonumous that it had become for a romantic soul like me impossible to live. please do not the same to Ireland!! I love Ireland as it is now, and I especially love the Kilmainham area, because it is so romantic, with the old jail, the museum of modern art and the wide view over the hills, please put the offices all concentrated in the IFSC.

CommentsI have traveled many places, and the one thing that I have heard in many large cities while on tour, is how sorry the people are that no one took the time to think through the development of areas of an historical nature. London comes to mind immediately, for the majority of the city was bombed and destroyed beyond recognition, and yet no one had the foresight to see what the business district near St. Paul's Cathedral "could have looked like." It is nothing now, that it could have been. Take the time to think through these decisions that will have an effect on the city for many years to come. Heavens, you have the opportunity to spare what your history represents! That's an opportunity of a lifetime...Kerry Ninneman, Instructor, Wisconsin, USA
CommentsI live in Braintree, Essex, UK and was aghast to find that an office development was planned to mar the views of and from the vital historical monument of Kilmainham Gaol. I wish to formally lodge my objection to this plan
CommentsI am from Los Angeles, son of Irish parents and have been to Ireland several times. Now that I am reading Ireland's history, bit by bit, it would be very disappointing to know that such a critically important site such as Kilmainham would ever be considered anything but a sacred national monument. What would Pearse say?
CommentsHeres a thought! If you plan on building on the site across from the kilmainham jail in kilmainham gaol, Ireland, why dont you design it with less floors going up which in turn build down in the ground. You should also build the out side structure as the same as Irelands historical buildings to blend in the the surounding enviorment. USA---menomonie,wisconsin
CommentsWe have an awfull habit in this country of forgetting the past but thats what makes the future.We need to protect or heritige especially this landmark so our children can see how our fore fathers suffered to give us this great country we live in now.Ireland is quickly losing its culture and tradition that we are so famous for we need to protect it and the time to do that is now. WILLIAM TIPPERARY
CommentsGreat site! But we would like some more info concerning the history of Kilmainham Gaol. Louise and Camilla, Køge, Denmark
CommentsHello, I am of Irish descent and I live in California. Please preserve Kilmainham Gaol as a historical site. It is an extremely important landmark to us all. Thank you.
CommentsPlease preserve the area around Kilmainham Gaol! I visited it during easter 1987 and it made a big impression on me. Have never learned so much about irish history as I did that time. I will never forget it. So please let other people have the same opportunity to enjoy the area in the same way as we know it today. Kari Grindland, Sarpsborg, Norway.
CommentsI visited Kilmainham Jail 4 years ago during a Dublin stay. It's no exaggeration to say that my eyes were opened to Irish history by this experience. Brought up in England and of Irish descent I had never truly understood. I urge you not to make the mistake of surrounding this building with inappropriate developments which will diminish it's power. David. UK
CommentsMy name is Clare Elizabeth Foust. I am from the United States, and I was finally able to visit Kilmainham Jail in February of this year. My last name is Austrian, but my heritage is predominately Irish, and my strongest connections to my Irish heritage and history connect in one way or another with this building. Despite its ugly history, it is a place close to my heart. It is, to me and to many of my family and friends, one of if not the strongest symbol of the strength and the courage of the Irish people. Men, women, and children died in this place because of forces of man and of nature too great for them, as individuals at least, to overcome. THIS IS SACRED GROUND. PLEASE do not overshadow it with some modern office building. Surely there must be some other location that would meet your needs just as well as this? Isn't there some way to develop this area without diminishing this asset that already exists?
CommentsJerry Hedderman Dublin Wrong scale, wrong location, a visitor centre with low rise hotel or other would be more appropriate
CommentsI went to kilmainham jail last year and it was a very good experiance the guide was very friendly, Now I have a whole different view on the jail. Belfast.N.Eire
CommentsI strongly objected to office blocks being built beside the jail .it is a great part of irish history and it would be a terrible shame to have such a monstrusity towering it and taking away its historical features. BELFAST N.IRELAND
CommentsGood job Keep it up! Please visit my website at http://www.flowers2thailand.com We offer a wide selection of flowers, roses, mixed bouquets, plants, gifts, gift baskets and personalized gifts at affordable prices delivered in Thailand.
CommentsThe visual impact of this ofice block seems to be minimal and would be a welcome development on what currently is a derilict site, with very little future. I cannot see why there are any objections to this development beyond "Not In My Backyard". Would the time of the people involved in this objection not be better spent in campaigning for an increase in the level of maintainance and promotion that the Gaol currently gets? Declan Roche Dublin Ireland
CommentsPlease block the plans for the office blocks as this would ruin the area around Kilmainham Gaol. John Scale, Rugby, United Kingdom
CommentsDear Sir/Madam I have visited Kilmainham twice and my father in law has visited it a number of times as have many people whom I know - and not just those of Irish descent. The Jail's historic importance extends well beyond the shores of Ireland. It can honestly be said that this jail is one of the most important in the world. I feel that allowing an office block to be developed near it will impact on its visual - and so detract from its effect. I feel that the area near to the prison should be developed to cater for the needs of those visiting the Prison, and that this would help to encourage more tourists to visit the prison - as well as those who have a historical connection with it, be they descended of those imprisoned within or even of the guards!
Commentshello iwas wondering could i get the plans of kilmainham jail for my L.C building project please,it would really help me, thank you
CommentsKathryn Broom United States of America Villa Rica, Georgia We just visited Kilmainham and were amazed with its history. It is only right to do anything possible to preserve this site with all respect. Please consider history first and development second.
CommentsRespect this historical site. We were impressed visiting the jail last year. It's a disgrace the Irish Government had nothing to do with its restoration. Please respect all those who died there and those who try to keep the memory alive. You owe them something! Anneke & Harry The Netherlands
Comments
Sir, Kilmainham Gaol is a treasure. Many folks from here in Chicago who visit Dublin, state that it was the highlight of their visit to Irelands's capital city. I strongly recommend that in liu of raising office blocks around this site that will diminish it's stature, you instead develop this land into some historically-related tourist attraction with rest-room and restaurant facilities. It will pay for itslf within a short period of time and enhance the beauty of your city. Sincerely, Frank Gleeson 4738 N Kenton Chicago IL 60630
CommentsThis jail should be kept a part of Ireland’s living history and as such should be maintained with pride. To think that people are contemplating the destruction of such a site saddens me; to think that they are Irish is abhorrent. I hope such a day never comes.
CommentsI think that it would a disgrace that this historical jail be overcast by an office block, there are plenty of sites in dublin that can be used. For all that Mr Pierce and his associates accomplished in 1916 against the british, which then lead to ireland being a free state, the least you can do, is leave his place of death alone.
CommentsProgress is recognising the importance of our past for present and future generations. Stop interfering with our history. Ireland has nothing to be ashamed of in terms of safguarding Kilmainham Jail.
CommentsI came to Dublin with my adult son in September 2001 from Minneapolis MN, in the United States. We both agreed that the Kilmainham Jail was the single most impressive and interesting place we visited in Dublin. The sense of history on the property is palpable. We were both moved, and adding to our reaction was a sense of peace and silence in the area immediately surrounding the prison. Please try to keep the adjacent properties respectful of this atmosphere. Development can go elsewhere, can't it?
CommentsI am an American with family roots to Kilmainham Gaol. My grandfather fought in the Easter Rising and I believe he may have spent time there before going to a jail in England. I just came back from Dublin and the history behind Kilmainham make it such an important part of Ireland and people searching out their heritage.

CommentsWhat I cannot understand is why someone (or some corporation or whatever) would think it is a good idea to overshadow (with a concrete monstrosity) a patriotic memorial as fine as Kilmainham Gaol. Having looked at the architectural model, my first thought was (pardon my french): "Jeez, what a f*ckin' eyesore!"
Commentsthe goal is a huge part of irish history,a history that should never be forgotten. don`t spoil it with ugly office blocks that`ll never stand the test of time,like the goal.
CommentsHi, my friend told me to come see the design on your website and I am very impressed. I must say whoever did the design should keep up the great work :)) http://www.concordhosting.com
CommentsAfter recently visiting kilmainham jail I would be appalled to see this structure overshadowed by modern day buildings.The world must be ablt to see the reality of life in a by -gone age and the atrocities of that time must never be forgotten.I was very moved by my visit and by the knowledge of our guide "Conner",he gave a very passionate account of the jails life.To see this building overshadowed by a modern structure would ba appalling
CommentsAs my parents on both sides are of Irish decent and being extremely interested in Irish History, I would very sorry to see a building of such historical importance being placed in a position of such danger.
CommentsI think it is awful that apartments would be built facing this historical site. It will take the whole look away from it. Also it takes the whole atmosphere away from the jail. It should not be allowed
CommentsAs a resident in the Kilmainham area, I fully support the "Friends of Kilmainham" concerns and feel the greed of the developers should not be tolorated in this historical area. There is already too much damage done in this country - we can make a difference in this case.

CommentsI am the leader of a spanish group of students, we are staying in Kill, co. Kildare & in Ballybrack Co. Dublin. We are coming to Ireland over 30 years and we would appreciate a lot to have more monuments to visit and more guided tours for our students, sometimes people from other countries do not know Ireland's history. In some places several persons think that Ireland is a part of United Kimdom yet. May be you should help us to inform students from other countries what's Ireland and its history.
CommentsOur history and heritage is contained in such buildings where the treatment of our ancestors should not be forgotten.
Commentskilmainham has been one of the best attractions in dublin in my opionion there is a lot of history there and i always love going iv been there a lot and plan on doing so in the future its a great bit of history i object a great deal and will do all i can to help im from finglas in Dublin, Ireland. Thank You
CommentsWhile we here in America don't have much that old...we have maintained historical sights that were important in American History. Like it or not, Kilmainham is an important part of Irish History. It is important to all individuals who have a drop of Irish blood in them too. Please preserve it.
CommentsI recently visited Kilmainham Jail, I am from dublin and my girlfriend is from England we both really enjoyed the experience and I think the proposed offices would be a serious blight on the atmosphere of the Jail and would have a bad effect on tourism. I think it is pure planning insanity that somebody ever thought that it would be a good idea to situate a modern building here. I am sure there are plenty of other sites where offices could be built. I think it is an insult to our history and our heritage if the plan goes ahead
CommentsKilmainham Gaol is a site of unparalelled historical importance and it is my opinion that anything that would be detrimental to the way things are at Kilmainham at the moment should not be given the go-ahead.However if there is anything that can be done to enhance the area surrounding the gaol, then I believe that it would be both desirable and practical as a long-term plan. I honestly believe that if Dublin Corporation allow this particular plan to go ahead it will be a worse architectural disaster for the surrounding buildings than the ESB headquarters.

CommentsCorporations stick around a few years but History lasts forever.
CommentsI visited the gaol at the beginning of September 2003 after spending 14 days touring Ireland. The vist was the highlight of my holiday and I wished I could of stayed longer. The importance of the role that this building has played in the history of Ireland cannot be over estimated and I feel that it`s profile should be increased for visitors to Ireland. (I learned of the tours and museum from the recent Billy Connolly series!). I fully agree that the facilities for visitors outside the gaol are poor and would hope that the land opposite the entrance to the buildng could be developed with this in mind but also be sympathetic to the surrounding buildings not, as proposed, 3-4 storey office blocks etc. Finally I would like to thank the staff who were very friendly and showed a true dedication and passion for the subject that they talked about. Steve Underhill
CommentsI recently visited Kilmainham Gaol and was deeply moved as I toured the sight as an American citizen of Irish ancetry. It would be a disservice to the Irish people to diminish this structure in any way. I am certainly not one to stand in the way of progress, but your plan to construct a huge complex adjacent to the Kilmainham Gaol would certainly diminish a sructure that is so important in reflecting the tragic history of the Irish People. I am sure an alternative sight could be found to complete your development of the area, and developing the proposed sight as a complement to the existing structure would certainly enhance its potential as a tourist attraction. I do not think you want to be remembered as the perpetrators of another Irish tragedy at Kilmainham Gaol. I urge you to reconsider your decision, and reward the Irish people by perserving and enhancing a structure that so vehemently mirrors the suffering and tragedy they have endured in their long pursuit of freedom.

PLEASE.
CommentsMy wife and I had our first ever visit to Dublin and visited the jail on recommendation. It was easily the highlight of our stay, which, considering the pubs and eateries we visited takes some doing. Picking up on some points though could I suggest more awareness to the casual visitor , foreign language tours and some inclusion by your ciy's excellent city bus tour to get closer.

CommentsI would hate to see the importance of Kilmainham Gaol reduced by corporate greed. My family visited this jail in August 2003 and we were all visibly moved by the historical significance of this landmark to Ireland's fight for freedom and justice.
CommentsI recently visited Kilmainham Goal and was deeply moved by the experience. Please leave this tragic buiding as it is and do not do anything that will destroy it. It's rich and moving history must be preserved for the generation that will follow us. My heartfelt gratitude to the courageous volunteers that gave so much to restore it and open it to the public. Without them I would have never gotten to see it myself. Sincerely, Lisa Connor, USA, Joliet Illinois

CommentsNew Jersey, USA As an American it is hard to find sites with the magnitude and history as the Kilmainham jail. To build offices around this area will deminish the very atmoshphere that has lived in this area since the beginning of the jails existence. Take it from a frequent Philadelphia visitor, there is nothing appealing about a parking garage or offices. The very being of this site astonishes me and I can only imagine what it would be like to have something of its historical magnitude to walk by each day.
Commentsthe jail is an important part of irish history and it should be preserved. Once it has gone you cant have it back!!!
CommentsWill you ever learn. Every other country would be so proud of their heritage and do everything in their power to preserve historical sites and monuments. The surrounding areas should be planned in such a way as to be an added attraction to an area and not an AT ANY COST ignorant attitude. I feel so ashamed when relatives question various projects in our Capital City that should have been preserved for our future generations. (e.g. Wood Quay).

CommentsKilmainham Jail is one of, if not THE, most important building relating to Ireland's struggle for freedom and therefore essential in the telling of her history. To overshadow this historical building with modern office blocks is preposterous and would be extremely detrimental to the building's stature and impact. The building is as important Ireland as Edinburgh Castle to Scotland or Buckingham Palace to England, and any proposed developments of this sort in the vicinity of these buildings would be laughed at! Please bear in mind the importance of this national treasure and of the area it is in. You risk destroying part of your country's important history.
CommentsIt is critical that cultural landscapes (such as that surrounding Kilmainham Gaol) are preserved. The proposed development will be not only aesthetically intrusive but it will undermine a great deal of the understanding of the heritage buildings in the precinct. For the people of Ireland and those who come to try and understand more of its history it is critical that all are able to experience the context of the Gaol. Large modern buildings will lessen this chance for understanding and will no doubt open the door to other undesirable development. We only have one shot at caring for significant heritage places and this goes further than dealing with the actual bricks and mortar. The proposed development may bring a short term benefit to a few but the preservation of Kilmainham Gaol and the surrounding heritage buildings will benefit current and future generations. Care for this highly significant heritage landscape by putting in tight planning controls to stop this proposal and any others that may come forward in the future. These cultural landscapes are critical to our understanding of where we have come from and where we may be heading.
CommentsI would like to comment on the proposals to develop the Kilmainham Gaol area,I think a National Monument of this significance should be protected from an office block development, and the area made more tourist friendly.This is a site visited by people from all over the world,and any development should be done sensitively.
CommentsI am a Dubliner living in London but a frequent visitor home. I feel strongly that the integrity of the historic buildings around Kilmainham Gaol should be protected from insuitable development.

CommentsI grew up in Dublin, and now live in Massachusetts. I am planning to visit Dublin next month for the first time in ten years. One of the first places I plan to visit when I get home is Kilmainham Jail. As an adult I have a great appreciation for Irish history, and plan to share it with my children on this trip. I am dismayed to learn of the planned development of the former Rowntree site. It makes sense to me to carefully plan development of this area in order to enhance this important National Monument, and not diminish it. This is an opportunity to take advantage of the huge tourism potential of the area(by careful and tasteful development), and benefit the local economy. Coming back as a tourist, I know that upon leaving the jail and museum, I would love to peruse bookstores and other retail shops and educational establishments, in the shadow of Kilmainham Jail, and perhaps eat a meal while discussing our visit with my family. I'm sure many people visiting in a tourist capacity would agree with me on this. The idea of a huge office block facing the jail is abhorrent I remember, and took part in the protest against the development of Wood Quay. Everybody is aware of what a huge blunder that was. Please don't let the same thing happen to the Kilmainham Jail area. Thank you. Fran Kay

I have been telling anyone I have met online who are going to visit Dublin to take this in as one of the sights not to be missed & feel if this development goes ahead they will be greatly disappointed by their first impressions of the site.

CommentsSirs, there is no disputing the fact the progress of a nation is reflected in its infrastructure and amenities which can show how far that nation has come and, in some instances, a glimpse into the future. However, a nations past is similarily reflected in the monuments of bygone eras which should be cherished and, where necessary, as is the case with Kilmainham Gaol, exalted. Dublin is no different to any other major city in its justapositioning of a variety of architectural styles - with the Central Bank and Civic buildings being perhaps the 2 most vivid examples. Whilst both buildings had their critics they have,in time, become part of the landscape of Dublin. This is due to the fact that the surrounding buildings in each case maintained their integrity due, in the main, to the volume and consequential facade in the case of the Central Bank and the elevation and imposing nature of the archway in the case of Christchurch. it seems to me that the proposed office block in Kilmainham will do nothing to enhance this national monument. From the exterior, the gaol has little going for it surrounded as it is by an austere stone wall. This limited "grandeur", which is its only external selling point, would be greatly diminished by the constuction of a building considerably higher. Its integrity would not be a match for an imposing modern day office block as they would be going toe to toe in a suburb of the city and where there will only be one loser. Old and new together? Absolutely. Austerity versus opulence? Why not. A level playing field? Definitely. Honour the past and applaud the future. Just do it in equal measure. Shane O'Connor A Dub in the UK
CommentsIs Robert Erskine Childers yacht 'Asgard' still kept in the jail. I read there was an effort to restore it. How can I learn if this is true? If it is, who can I contact?

CommentsI live in the United States, outside of New York City, and spent five months studying in Ireland. If I had to pinpoint the most influential experience I had, I would say Kilmainham Jail. The tour and history had a profound impact on me and the other students I was traveling with. As such a significant part of Ireland's history, it would be a shame to see development around the historical landmark. I hope to revisit Kilmainham in the future and see it as it was.
CommentsDont do this, my grandfather was once a resident of the gaol itself!, we must protect our heritage

CommentsI have that interest of Irish history which I acquired from my dad. I would like to see Ireland I here the pubs & golf courses are great. They should SAVE history like this jail there for future generations
Comments20 years from now people will look back and say, what were they thinking. Leave well alone. Think of the future, not the present. People gave their lives for their, (this), land. Put your office block elsewhere and leave this site with the respect it deserves.
CommentsHi I am writing from my home in England but am orginally from Dublin. My Grandfather was one of many of the Irish Volunteers that were interned in Kilmainham Jail during the war of Independance. My views are that although the gaol represents loss of freedom for the prisoners interned there it was from their actions that we as Irish Republicans have that freedom within the 26 counties. Not to protect these buildings would be forgetting their struggle for your freedom. To understand fully how important these buildings are all you have to do is look at the volunteers that spent 26 years rennovating the buildings to their current splendor, if these people showed their commitment and passion over this length of time surely you can also do so to ensure that these buildings are not forgotten please do not allow this to happen.
CommentsHaving just visited Kilmainham Gaol as part of a trip to Dublin I definitely think it would be a great shame for the proposals for new offices to go ahead. Looking out over Dublin from the Guinness Storehouse, one of the most noticeable and likeable features is a lack of buildings higher than a few stories. Compared to all the major cities in England (my home country) this makes a great difference - it's good that so many landmarks such as Kilmainham are visible. To build these new office blocks right by the Gaol would spoil it.
Commentskilmainham gaol is easily one of the most important historical sites in ireland. anything done to disturb this site is a disgrace and kilmainham should be protected from such a disgrace.
CommentsKilmainham Jail was the most interesting cultural/historical sites we visited in Dublin. It would be a disservice to see it's importance dwarfed by the proposed design.
CommentsI was born in dublin, have lived all around the country. I am studying cultural studies at D.K.I.T and understand the economic,social,cultural significance of Kilmainham jail today. The protection of kilmainham jail and its surrounding development in the area must be inclusive for the growth of an immense national treasure for Ireland. The droves of tourists to the jail should be nourished and seen as an assest for kilmainham's development and sustainability.
CommentsI for one as a tourist interested in history do not wish to see an office building next to one of the most important pieces of Irish Indepedence.
CommentsHello a chara i now live in new zealand but I lived until age 14 in the house my grandparent rented in albert place where the rowntree factory was extended. My mother and her sister often talked about playing on the hangmans noose using it as a swing. My brothers John and james were invovled in the restoration and we all visited it for the first time when it opened as a musemn. a lot of history that was disgarded for many years until Ireland was ready to deal with its history and its memories. The area is of historical value with the Royal hospital now alos open to the public. Pat mcCallig
CommentsI am a full time student living in Kilmainham and would plead with you to stop the proposed development at the Nestle Rowntree site. It would be detremental to the area. Obviously it would bring employment but the ongoing globalisation and commercialisation of Dublin must stay in the city centre. Do not ruin a historical beautiful area with large concrete jungles of monotonous office blocks. It is not welcome here.
CommentsI visited Killmainham jail last year i found the atmospher amazing, the jail is an important part of Irish history and the Irish sould look after this wonderfull site, surley there is other ways to acommerdate the office blocks, because if you allow this development it could spell the end of the jail in the not too disstant future, visitor from Pontefract in West Yorkshire England,
CommentsBlackpool, Lancs, England. We found the tour very emotional. Glad the site has been restored. We feel we must compliment our tour guide (sorry have forgotten his name!), who was informative and passionate.
CommentsBlackpool, Lancs, England. I believe this site must be protected. It is vital to the Irish heritage. As an English person visiting the jail, I had no idea of its history. It moved me to tears. I can't understand why this isn't protected and nutured by yourselves. This is your history.
CommentsThe plans are not in keeping with the jail as a national monument and not appropriate. Try the council offices and the ESB buildings for examples of dire planning and crass local sensitivity

CommentsKilmainham Jail is an important historical structure in Ireland's history. As a visitor from the States who is witness to numerous oversized architectures, please preserve your country's important history. Ireland's beauty is one of unmatched quality, why give it away?
CommentsI am from the United States of America, Smithtown, NY. I visited Ireland for the second time in September 2001. All my grandparents were born in Ireland. I found this site while I was sending information on Kilmainham Jail to my daughter who will be visiting Ireland for the first time this month. I wanted to tell her that she cannot miss seeing Kilmainham Jail while in Dublin. It was the most amazing part of Dublin. The tour, given by a most passionate, informed young man, had such an incredible impact upon me. It's very important that the stature of this building not be diminished. I feel passionate about this. Sincerely, Dorothy Toomey
CommentsKilmainham Jail is a huge part of our history. If it was to be replaced by yet another block of offices it would be a serious crime to people who value their heritage and understanding of the irish culture.
CommentsHaving visited Kilmainham Jail for the first time two years ago, I have to say that I found it a very moving experience, and one which made me embarrassed to be English (yet again). There was still much restoration work to be done. Any nearby development as described would probably detract from the visual impact of the jail building - an impact which needs to be accentuated, not reduced. The jail is probably as important a piece of Irish heritage as anything else in the country.
CommentsMy name is Mary (McGinty) Dalton and I live in the USA. My ancestors are from the beautiful coubtry of Ireland. I am about to amke my second trip to Ireland this summer with many family members including my eldest daughter, Shannon. One place I want to see is the Kilmainham Jail. An absolute favorite Irish tune of mine, "Grace" by The Dubliners speaks of this important historical landmark. The well kept history of Ireland is the biggest part of it's charm and attraction. So many countries have done little to preserve it's history. Ireland is positively rich in history. Maintaining the Kilmainham Jail is an important choice. It's so much a part of what draws tourists and it helps preserve history for the people of Ireland. Please continue to support Kilmainham Jail.

CommentsKILMAINHAM IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR TOURISM SPOTS IN DUBLIN WE MUST LEARN FROM THE CHRIST CHURCH SEGA AND REJECT THIS DEVELOPEMENT PLAN
CommentsPlease do not build a large office complex near Kilmainham Gaol. This is perhaps the most important part of our histroy as those who fought and died so that we may live in a country of our own, spent so much time here. I am sure most of this time was full of suffering and we should not forget and instead honour them. Chris Mulligan.

CommentsYou MUST NOT destroy the area around the jail!!!!! I toured the jail in 2001, I believe, and I will include the tour on every visit that I make to Ireland. I tell everyone who visits Dublin that they must see the jail. It's an irreplaceable part of Irish History and the tour was one of the most moving and memorable experiences that I have ever had. Don't make me come over there and throw myslef in front of a bulldozer :). Seriously, you will always regret not having preserved this very important monument and the area around it. Please don't allow development to go forward. Thank you. Michele Krauss USA

CommentsUnited Kingdom kilmainham is an historic monument and the area needs developing geared towards its past in relation to the future and the amount of tourism it generates in thr area. A coffee shop should be set up in the vicinity to enable a mix of tourist activity who might like to mingle and share their comments on the area as a whole.

CommentsWhom it may concern- I am an American, and I have neve been to your country I was antranced by the novels I read of 1916. As such I believe that to go ahead with your plan you take away from what is considered by most a National Landmark at least. As an American I would be most offended if someone were to erect a convience store next to the Statue Of Liberty (which is what Kilmainham is for some). Please consider what you do now for in years to come people like me will come to wander Ireland, and I would be agreived at the least to find an eyesore in what some have called them most beautiful country on earth. Thank you for your time. Jaimeson
CommentsI visited this historical monument recently. Its sacred soil should not be desecrated in this way.
CommentsI agree with what the Jail are saying, having visited it myself, I feel the area needs to be developed to keep the tourists in it for a longer period of time. Kilmainham Jail is a fantastic tourist attraction and it would be upsetting to see an office block get in the way of it.

CommentsMy husband and myself visited Kilmainham Jail on March of this year. My father-in-law was born and bred in Brittas Bay. Our relatives stay in Arklow and in Wicklow. I very much class Ireland as my 'heart' home and would love to move there permanently - but believe it or not for the first time in all our visits to Ireland we visited Kilmainham in March of this year. I have nothing but praise for the very, very hard work put in by the volunteers to bring Kilmainham to the stature it is now. It is a credit to the volunteers and indeed the people that maintain the jail today. We spent about 4 hours there but wanted to spend more - it is a very emotive place to be I could actually feel the presence of all the political prisoners. I was a very, very moved by the whole experience. This is a very fitting tribute to all those who believed and fought for a united Ireland. I cannot find enough superlatives for everyone connected to the restoring of Kilmainham. Thank you - We will most definitely be visiting Kilmainham Jail again.
CommentsMy wife and I visited the Jail yesterday as part of planned tour of Dublin's various historical sites. We agree with the organisers of the campaign that the site opposite the jail should be given over to a heritage park use including a visitor centre.
CommentsI have been to kilmainam jail last year and have read of what went on there. I had a name sake one lawrence McKeown who was one of the original hunger strikers at this jail.

CommentsI am just seeing this website today...April 10, 2004. It seems I may be 3 years late in voicing my opinion, but I will anyway. I was at Kilmainham in Oct. 2001. I have told many people, including one today, how moved I was by my visit there. That, however, has nothing to do with building progress. My hope is that nothing has been built since I was there that is towering over the place. One thing I noticed with great pleasure in Dublin was that, in spite of it being a bustling metropolis, it did not give in to what the rest of the world has....building lifeless monstrosities of buildings. I love my pictures of the Dublin architecture that I took from atop the DublinBus. I hope that, as mentioned in this website, the area will be developed to complement Kilmainham....they were right....we got on the bus & left as soon as we were done there. Lisa Murphy, Michigan, USA
CommentsI can't understand why anyone would want to interfere with the surrounding area of the Gaol bearing in mind it is steeped in history in particular with the independence of Ireland itself. My visit to the jail made my stay in Dublin, to have office blocks around it would spoil the feeling and prescence of the building, surely there are other areas of land left in Dublin.
CommentsMy name is Lisa and I am from the United States. This past February I had the privilege of visiting Ireland. While in Dublin, I visited Kilmainham Gaol. Of everything I experienced in your country, Kilmainham had the largest impact on my understanding of Ireland's history. I found this landmark to be intimidating and commanding of respect. After visiting the website and reading of the proposed development, I wanted to say that I think it would be a shame to dwarf such history with an office building and a carpark. It should stand above any surrounding structures if for nothing else than out of respect for those who gave their lives for their love of Ireland. I will however admit that upon arriving a half hour before the museum's first tour, I was not able to find even a shop or pub to get a cup of coffee. Thank you for listening.

CommentsFacilities for tourists should be in place in the near area ie. across the road from the gaol would be ideal. Opposition to the office blocks should be heeded as this certainly would detracted from this landmark!

CommentsI visited the Goal back last summer and I though it was amazing the amount of history it has 'lived' though. My girlfriend and I had lunch in the park you propose to build the offices and it would be an outrage if the project went ahead. Chris from Colchester, Essex, England
CommentsMy Great-Grandmother was a political prisoner in this jail and is included in the book Guns and Chiffon. The area around the jail should be developed to accomodate the many thousands of visitors and to generate income for the townspeople and local businesses. I would be devastated to see a looming office block adjacent to the jail and believe it's presense will overshadow the jail and its historic importance in the shaping of the Ireland of today. Watford England
CommentsDear Sir/Madam, I am a leaving cert history student in co. Meath currently compiling information for my special study. The subject I have chosen to research is the use of Kilmainham jail during the 1916 rising and war of independence. I appreciate that the learned Dublin corporation feel the need to develop this area of Kilmainham but I would wish to point out the fact that what the corporation have in mind would diminish the historical and cultural aspect of the area. Surely one would find it reasonable to suggest an alternative use of this area to encourage tourism and increase interest in Kilmainham, whilst still gaining an acceptable economic development and revenue.
CommentsI am from the United States. I have visited Kilmainham and it is an extremely important visitor's site to understanding the history of Ireland. It would be a travesty if it were to be overshadowed by the proposed building. It would be better to develop a place where visitors could have a cup of tea or lunch and reflect on what they have seen and learned at Kilmainham. Maureen Martindale
CommentsI WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE GAOL REMAIN OPEN AS IT IS ONE OF THE FEW HISTORICAL GAOLS LEFT IN IRELAND. SAOIRSE, DERRY, IRELAND.
CommentsInverness, Scotland. Please preserve your history, because it is like Scotland. So much tragedy in the face of adversity. We visited Kilmainham Gaol for the first time recently and found it very interesting yet quite depressing. The guide's enthusiasm for this tour was superb. Thank you.
CommentsKilmainham Gaol is an important monument, not only for the people of Ireland but for visitors also. We adore our visits to Ireland and spent a great day at Kilmainham and the guide who took us round the Gaol was very knowledgable. We would hate to think a large office block would overwhelm this great historical landmark. Gateshead, Tyne & Wear, England

CommentsVisited Jail site in March 2004 and was very impressed by the restoration work and the History of the Site. A lot of the story I didn't know, being born in America. Hope your efforts to stop the building of an office block is successful as such a building would detract from it's (the jail's) history and the beauty of the surrounding area.

CommentsI live in Oregon, USA- Please do not destroy this monument- for those of us who are here today because of our ancestors- please preserve every possible historic link of Ireland that we all owe so much too. I was at Kilmainham to visit and it is impressionable, a must save.
CommentsIT WOULD BE ASHAME TO DESTROY AN IMPORTANT PART OF IRELAND'S HISTORY. I FEEL THE PEOPLE WHO FOUGHT AND DIED FOR THE FREEDOM OF IRELAND DESERVE MORE RESPECT AND NOT PUSHED BEHIND AN OFFICE BUILDING AND PARKING GARAGE.
CommentsI am from Liverpool, England but am Irish and was born in Dublin. I visited Kilmainham Jail recently and was moved by the history inside it. I found out much information about the history of my country that I didn't know before. It is clearly essential that we preserve this heritage site, and therefore that the plans be reconsidered.
Commentsmy only comment would be that this Historic site for the Irish to embrace and remember their past and for visitors to understand the history which is unique to Ireland should be protected. The city should invest in preservation and I believe that office buildings would be mistake as a visitor mae a special trip tp that area for the Jail building the surrounding area up for tourist would be better
CommentsWell built site. Very informative. Best of luck with the campaign.
CommentsKilmainham Jail is part of the rich history of Ireland. There are enough new buildings (mainly eyesores!) see the spike on O'Connell street as an example, in this town without trampling over the original resting places of our martyred heros! e
CommentsCo Wicklow.
CommentsPerserving the history of the jail means not just preserving the jail building, but the surrounding areas as well. If the surrounding area is developed with the proposed office buildings, you will loose the context in which the jail existed and therfore loose some of its history. John Kelly Tuscon, Arizona USA
CommentsI think this is a complete disgrace. Having worked on a cross community project in the North, we are constant visitors to the gaol and would be discusted at any development of such likes
CommentsMy whole family history is from ireland I was born there and know live in Canada. I go there every 3 years to visit family and all the attractions. I was there with my father and he told me all the history of Ireland, my father is gone. Kilmainham jail is a special place for me. Please take care of Kilmainham for me? But most of all do it for the history of Ireland and there people.
CommentsTo my mind, Kilmainham Jail symbolizes the struggle of the Irish people to be free and self-determining. Everything I know about the "troubles" is associated in my mind with Kilmainham Jail. Last year, I was finally able to travel to Dublin from San Diego, California. I felt that my visit to the jail was the pinnicle of my visit. It was so evocative and brought to life all of the stories I grew up listening to. I think that the proposed developememt would diminish the ambiance of the area. It would be difficult to imagine the starkness of the area with a modern office block directly across the street. It would have been nice to have some shops, restaurants, etc. to explore rather than to just get in the car and go. It takes a little "coming down" after touring that daunting edifice.
CommentsAs a US citizen of Irish decent and as an Irish Citizen by Foreign Birth Registry, I implore you to rethink your plans for this piece of property. The rich history of the area must be preserved and cultivated.
CommentsKilmainham Jail is the most important site in Ireland and is the most potent symbol of what was given for the freedom of Ireland, her independence and current growth of the current generation. Obviously it is not as old as, say Newgrange or Tara, but is at least as important to future generations as a National Monument. Please do not let Dublin planners make the same mistakes as the 1960s and 1970s. My name is Kevin Smyth, currently living in Maldon, England but my family originate from Dublin and as we will be moving back in the next 2-3 years it is very relevant to me not for the reasons of sentimentality, but for pure respect for the people who have passed through there, what they gave and what it represents. Regards Kevin Smyth

CommentsPlease do not destroy one of Ireland's most important National Monuments - for the sake of the history of the country and of the world, leave Kilmainham Jail alone!
CommentsAs a past resident of Dun Dealgan, Co Lu I would like to make my voice known in objection to your plans. Kilmainham Gaol is of the utmost historical importance and it and its environs should be protected at all costs. For those who gave their lives and suffered immensely un Kilmain Gaol, look what they gave to their children. Ireland is now on the fore front of world leadership, technology and is high on the political map. A few "modern" office blocks and car park should not be allowed in an area so significant to Irish history. I totally and absolutely object to these plans by any means.
CommentsI strongly object to any development which will dwarf the Jail. Although I do agree that the proposed area needs development. Something a little more subtle would suffice. We don't want another 'bunker' like the one which you're situated in right now and blocking the view from the quays of Christ Church Cathedral. A chara, - David Rochford
Commentsim from kilmainham and i love that place with all my heart please dont let anythin happen my beloved gaol as it is the only place i know that helps me belong to my darling countries heritage
CommentsWhile watching the Olympics at my home in Chicago, the wonderful video of Athens caused me to reflect on my own history. Instead of picking up an old book I turned to the internet and became aware of this issue. My grandfather, Laurence Coleman, was a guest at Kilmainham from 1920-1922. He was Cork Brigade, Old IRA. Convicted of Treason against the Crown. His name is my proudest possession. My dad, Laurence, a Youghal man, took me to Kilmainham in '92 and I knew I was on hallowed ground. I had read my history and knew the stoies and songs, but until I touched the walls, walked through the doorways, the sobering truth was only legend. When I returned with my wife in '98, the tour was the most profound way to share my heritage with her. A decade from now, the survivors of those times will all be gone. A break in the oral tradition. History will be left to interpritation. Truth and fiction will blend so that our children will not know with certainty the sacrifice, the loss, for freedom. Without that knowledge, they may be more willing to give up this freedom. I hope to bring my son, who is 4, there when he is older, to teach him with tangible locations, where rightful dignity is maintained. In America, a few years back, developers wanted to build strip malls with rstaurants, museums, kiddie parks and plenty of parking spaces on the undeveloped grounds surrounding the site of the Battle of Gettysburg. Imagine the arrogance of some 21st Century businessman yearning to turn a profit on the fields where 50,000 brothers, fathers and sons gave their lives during a 48 hour battle that would define the country forever. I see the same fight is going on in Erin. Good luck, my prayers are with you there. Laurence
CommentsGreedy Celtic Tiger devouring the heritage of Kilmainham. Sad to say but I think the district is now beyond preserving now that it is home to so many bland apartment blocks - the area is fast turning into a foreign alien place / getto just look around)and any tourism potential is been destroyed. If only Kilmainham was in Dublin 4 then it surely would be posetively exploited and protected.
CommentsI am an American, and I know we are not popular in the world. Many disagree with what we have and are doing in the world. I know we won't regain our stature by masking our actions. Please don't mask Kilmainham Prison with towers of offer workers. My father's father came to America from Ireland and I have always looked to the Irish people as examples of strength and honor.
CommentsI like your website; I will come again sometime.
CommentsI love this page. It looks really nice. Keep it up
CommentsKilmainham Gaol Museum is a truly significant site in Irish history, and it is vital to consider the impact on the Gaol by any development in neighbouring sites. Clearly, for visitors to the Museum to appreciate the historical importance of the building, the Gaol ought to remain the dominant building in the area, and should not be overshadowed by taller new buildings. As a recent visitor to the Museum, I would have been very pleased if there were reasonable amenities for visitors in the area, such as restaurants, pubs, shops, etc. The best method of developing property near Kilmainham Gaol would be to erect a tasteful structure which would provide such amenities, thus encouraging tourism and the spending of tourist money in the area.
CommentsVisiting the Kilmainham Jail was one of the most interesting and impressing parts of my stay in Dublin. I plan on taking the tour again next time and have already recommended it to relatives and friends. Annie, 24, Frankfurt/Germany
CommentsFrom Washington DC - USA I visited Kilmainham Gaol this August (2004) and have to say that I was very moved by it. The thought of "over building" around this historic landmark is a sad thing. Please keep the surrounding of Kilmainham Gaol in check and preserve this great historic site.
CommentsI object to any proposal to raise office blocks, or indeed any building, above the height of Kilmainham Gaol. I beleive the site would be best developed sympathetically for the purposes of heritage/tourism. I am from the North of Ireland but living in England, I am Protestant and I beleive Kilmainham is a national treasure impotant to anyone who has a TRUE belief and feeling for the History of Ireland.

Commentsi was born in St. James' Hospital, Dublin. I lived in Kilmainham till I was 18. I now live in Stockport, Cheshire. Upon a recent visit to Dublin, myself & my husband visited Kilmainham Jail. The visit itself was fantastic...what an important national treasure the jail is. However, little has changed since I moved to England. There is still nowhere to safely park your car locally...we left our car with my parents who still live in Kilmainham. There is very little to entice visitors to stay in the area , once they have finished their tour of the museum...few places to eat or drink. The proposed office blocks would blight the local environment, and encourage even more passing traffic. What about people? What about tourists? Kilmainham & Inchicore need tourists and their money, and apart from the jail and The Royal Hospital...there is very little to encourage them to stay.
Commentsa building Dublin should be more proud of... one of the few that are really worth admiring. Dublin might need more buildings, but is looking in the wrong part of town...
CommentsDear Sir/Madam I wish to strongly object to the proposed Developement opposite Kilmainham Jail. I feel to Dwarf such an important historical Site should be avioded at all costs. I come from Co. Dublin.
Commentsim from dublin,although i live in the uk,or scarbough to be presize.as a child i visited kilmanham as i lived in ballyfermot and fatima mansions in rialto.and i come home about twice in every tree years .and i think dublin should keep some of the past ,after all thats what brings the visitors.everytime i go home and then come back to scarborough people ask me have i been to this place or that and i dont know what they are taking about because it is something that was not there when i left.i love my countrie and if you do then show the world .and not be driven by money give your children some of what you had.irish people from what i beleave feel like outsiders in ther countrie as we are being infaded not by the english but people without uniform .lets but a stop to change and step back befor its to late.your faithfully martin anthony lee,fromDUBLIN
CommentsPlease do not destroy an important part of Ireland's history. Generations to come need to be kept aware of the struggles the Irish went through to gain their independence. I just returned from Ireland and was most grateful for the exhibition and tour of the Gaol.

Commentsjust dont do it this is a historical site that children in the future may value.
CommentsHi. I am a law enforcement student in the us and part of our degree program requires us to take a course on corrections. The instructor for this requires us to pick a country and study all aspects of its system of corrections. To rid the world of this piece of Irish history would be to deprive students from all over the world an opportunity to visit such a monument and that is just not fair to us.I personally would love to see a tour of all of Irelands prisons, both current and historic. Thank-you for the opportunity to voice my opinion. good luck.
CommentsHello! I´m a young basque. I was in Kilmainham Gaol in April 2004 in my holydays. I had a great and good impresion when I visited the prison cells of irish rebels and when I saw their personal objects, especially the personal objects of 1916-1922 Sinn Feinners.Those men and their blood made the Republic of Ireland and they needed a fine monument like that museum. We have a similar Nationalist Museum in The Basque Country but more little: WWW.ABERTZALETASUNARENMUSEOA.ORG (Artea-Arratia.Bizkaia, Basque Country), I hope one day will be like The Kilmaiham Museum. The Irish People can be proud of it! Good work!!! Bye! Slainté! Agur!
CommentsDear Sirs, I wish to object to the proposed office developments opposite Kilmainham Gaol. Please consider the extraordinary national significance of the Gaol Ritamary Bolton
Commentswhy do we irish always make a mess of things!!I say no no no to the appts proposal opposite the jail peter
CommentsVery useful site. Thank you. <a href=http://breinmesto.com/breinmesto.htm>index</a>
CommentsI visited Kilmainham Gaol last month. I must say I was really impressed with what I saw. I would also like to thank once again the guide who gave us a lot of information about the history of Kilmainham Gaol.
CommentsI am from Dublin originally and remember what happened at wood quay in the 1970s/80s. are our country cousins with no allegiance to dublin other than to make money out of it really proposing to destroy kilmainham as well?. Is it a piss take that the planning dept. is located at wood quay?. Go and destroy galway,mayo or wherever the hell else you come from but leave Dublin alone, or better still just leave Dublin. After all the men and women who suffered and died in Kilmainham didn't die just for Dublin but for the other 31 counties as well. Or didn't you know that.
CommentsI LOVE THIS PAGE. PLEASE, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
CommentsLondon, Uk - I visited Klimainham Jail a few years ago & felt that it was one of the best attractions in Dublin and well worth the visit.
CommentsI visited Dublin Kilmainham Jail today with my wife and daughter. I could sense, Pearce, Connolly, Plunkett McDonagh etc inside the walls. I could also sense the hundreds who died in there just hoping for food. The area must be upgraded to ensure that the men and women who died for that great country did not die in vain
CommentsThe proposed office blocks opposite Kilmainham Jail are highly offensive. This is all too typical of Ireland's disregard for its rural and urban environment. How can anyone seriously contemplate undermining such a historic and distinctive site as this with an overbearing development as this. If Dublin and the rest of Ireland continue in this manner, there will be nothing left to tempt the tourist and sustain the interest of those of us who have what increasingly seems to be the misfortune to live here.
CommentsSuch an impotant site in the history of Ireland/UK should be protected. Look after your/our history!
CommentsPlease...no high office block. My first visit to Dublin last week was emotional due to what I saw and heard at the gaol. Please protect this area. No one should be allowed to treat this area with disrespect.
CommentsIt is with much shock and disappointment that I receive the news of the proposed building of office blocks in such close proximity of Kilmainham Gaol. Having checked the site to accquire directions to one of the country's finest historical buildings in order to visit the Gaol again I am disgusted with the plans for the proposed offices. Kilmainham is such a wonderful visitor attraction and is of much importance to Irish tourism. So many people from around the world endeavour to visit the jail and see for themselves the sight on which such history was made. It should be in everyones best interests to preserve its surroundings and oppose the building of the offices, which could easily be located in plenty of other areas. I sincerely hope that the decision is taken to protect Kilmainham Gaol and to keep its legacy alive in true tradition.
CommentsI LOVE THIS PAGE. PLEASE, KEEP UP TEH GOOD WORK.
CommentsAs a recent visitor to Kilmainham Gaol I feel that the construction of such office blocks would have a detrimental effect on the gaol
CommentsAre you really contemplating putting such an eyesore across the street from one of our national monuments? Do you not have any respect for the history and importance of this building and it's place in our hertiage? It's a disgrace that it's even been alowed to get this far. Stop before it's too late, Elaine Murphy, Cork
CommentsShame on the Irish Authoriites should Kilmainham be interfered with - it represents freedom for so many people both past and present - my uncle, John Gaffney was murdered there - please do not disrespect his memory or that of his many comrades Deirdre Gaffney - Suffolk UK

Commentssuch developments are out of keeping with their surroundings and erode the character and history of such aplace
CommentsSuch developments are out of keeping with their surroundings and erode the character and history of such a place. I hope the Dublin Corporation listen to the views of people worldwide. Ann Smiley - London, England
CommentsSouth Padre Island, Texas, United States I visited Kilmainham in June and I enjoyed the tour very much. The only thing I would have liked is to be able to walk around and explore more on my own, but I understand why you would try to keep people from doing that. You can't trust people not to vandalize...
CommentsI have been brought up to understand and appreciate the history that makes kilmainham jail the national monument it is today. By going ahead with your plans to build opposite here, you are not only potenitally ruining a national treasure but disrespecting the the premise that makes it so famous. Stop thinking with your bank balance in mind and for once, listen to the people.
Commentsiam finnish woman and very interested of irelands history. i cant understand why do you want to destroy kilmainham jail?? that is big part of your countrys history. that place should be holy to you!
Commentsim 15 years old from dublin,ireland and have gone to kilmainham jail once on a school trip it was that one trip to the jail that made me want to learn who i am who put me here and because of this thinking i found out my family supported ireland through this difficult time in our history my great uncle hid the ira during the rising through till 1922 when we gained independence he was to be shot by the british for this im told anyway the jail has given me a new respect for my family my country and the people who who gave us a independent ireland just think what in years to come my children will think when they visit this monument please save this jail it is the root of the country thank you
CommentsI left Dublin as a child but returned as a visitor last year. The jail was one of the places on my itinerary I agree with the objection that the jail should not be overshadowed. It is a crucial historical site. Its history and atmosphere must be preserved so no obtrusive development should be allowed. Greg O'Connell, Bournemouth, England
CommentsIt has pleased God almighty to bless Ireland with her unique history of which Kilmainham Gaol is one of them. The numerous medieval monuments, acient forts, cathedrals and parks etc are truly legendary. To learn that "many of Ireland's most important historical figures spent time in the jail, and some of them died there by firing squad or by the hangman's noose" puts stronger emphacies on the non-negotiabilty of the jail's historic importance and preservation. But if the proposed office blocks and retail units will bring more tourists and visitors to the museum, I do think it should be a welcome idea. I salute the courage and the unrivalled selflessness of all Irish heroes of the past and present, who had laboured and some times paid the utmost price, to build the present Irish Nation. ADEOLU WILLIAM (Nigerian) Athy, Co. Kildare
CommentsYour site is great. I loved the graphics. Here is my website: http:www.ambitiousindians.com. We provide dating services for Indian Professionals with photos and videos of singles in India, USA and around the globe. Do visit my site! Umesh"
CommentsVery dissapointed to hear of this plan. Have recommended to people all over the world that it's a must visit. Though the absence of any amenities in the area is a bit of a dissapointment
CommentsDear the Planning Department of Dublin Corporation: In March 2004 I traveled from Washington, D.C. to visit Dublin for a week. While in Dublin I visited the Kilmainham Gaol. Visiting the Kilmainham was the highlight of my trip as it gave me a very informative education of the political struggle in Ireland. This site must be preserved so others may be educated as well. No other site in Dublin tells the story of the troubles in Ireland more than the Kilmainham Gaol. Please preserve this site and Irelands' history. Sincerely, Jackie LaRocca 5225 Pooks Hill Rd. 1204 South Bethesda, MD 20814 United States
Commentsme and my wife visited Dublin just after christmas '04 for 3 days and on the third day we went kilmainham gaol. What a fantastic place it was to go round with a great guide and see what it must have been like to be locked away in those horrible times of past years! We didnt know what to expect at all, but we both came away feeling totally full of history, it was magic!! This proposal is not needed i am sure,you will only spoil the wonderful area in which the gaol is set and therefore make it less atractive to millions of new visitors to come. Think about it people!!! Ian Clark, Derby,UK
CommentsI am an American, and recently made a visit to your land. It was a point of intrest to see the jail where so much of Irish history had been. Kilmainham Jail was truly awe inspiring, and to deface that building with office space is quite an atrocity. It takes from the history, and it DEGRADES every battle the men who lost lives and loved ones from inside those walls. I beg you to please remember that there will always be more space to put an office, but there will never be another Kilmainham Gaol. There will never be another 1916 Easter Uprising, but the can always be a place to remember. I think if you HAVE to build it, then do it the way your own want it appealing, not appalling.
CommentsI just learned the presence of the kilmainham jail and its history and i think it really really should be protected whether it has bad memories or etc. You should not destroy such a value, history is the biggest value of a country and i am really planning to see it one day. Consider its architectural value at least, i learned this jail from my searches about panopticon jail system. Its kind of an important building. Best regards from Istanbul / Turkey
CommentsI have visited the Jail 2times and plan on visiting again in a few weeks. I am American /Irish and feel that the jail is extremely important to the preservation of history. Photos do not do justice to the emotion of walking thru history.
CommentsThink carefully how you re-build Dublin - look at all the architectural gems you have already lost - and how to preserve the ones you still have and how to show them to best advantage. Offices you can build anywhere Kilmainham is a one off.
CommentsMunich
CommentsI am from the United States of America. Why destroy a part of Ireland's history? Kids study history in school and myself would like to SEE historic places than just read about them.
CommentsFor the latest on the site (February 2005)visit www.theoldchocolatefactory.com
CommentsGood day...I am from the United States with plans to relocate to Dublin in 2006. I ask, not just as a future resident, but as someone who respects the memory of those who fought for freedom, to please reconsider your plans for construction opposite the gaol. Thank you.
CommentsThe gaol is of historical importance, it would be a crime to overshadow it with an office block.
CommentsI am from Manchester in England but have a great love of Ireland and have visited Kilmainham on several occasions. Kilmainham, I feel is a very important area when remembering Irelands past. This is a past, which should always be remembered not only by the people of Ireland but the people of the world. Not least the British like myself. Kilmainham Goal it's self since it was first built has been a major participant in so many of the events which have come together to build this wonderful nation and for that reason alone deserves the respect of us all. So many great men were brought to there demise here not in the main for being evil or in any way bad people but for their love and belief in Ireland. We should always remember these men and indeed women and Kilmainham Goal should always be the shrine it is today and dedicated to their memory. Political beliefs aside these events took place and this will never change but if the human race cant learn from all our wars and all of the good people who have died in them then these people died in vain. The only way we can learn of these dark areas in our past is with places like Kilmainham. With this in mind I feel strongly that the priority in this area should be to draw people to for it's historical value so future generations can remember learn from the last couple of century’s and this can help them to live in peace.
CommentsPlease do not overshadow Kilmainham with the proposed office blocks. Ireland's history and culture is too important to be sacrificed to indiscriminate development. Surely the site can be developed without being at the expense of such an historic site. I visited Kilmainham in June of 2004 and was powerfully moved by the visit. I would hate to see anything diminish its stature. Thank you very much for your consideration on this issue. Robert Fitzgerald St. Paul, MN USA
CommentsMy Grandfather was held in Kilmainham jail and was sentenced to death. He was reprieved because of the signing of the anglo-irish agreement. I have visited the sight and feel strongly that it should be preserved and not diminshed in any way as our way of honouring heroes like my Grandfather and other men who made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of Irish freedom. Lesley Donnelly England
CommentsMy name is Fiona Brooks. I was born and raised in Montreal, Canada by Irish-born parents. My grandmother's brother was incarcerated in Kilmainham for 2 years by the British. I agree that the space should be developed, but it should be done in such a way that respects the importance of the Jail. Thanks, Fiona
CommentsI am from Belfast....County Antrim.......I now live in Toronto, Canada. I have visited Kilmainham several times and each time the visits have reinforced my country's history and the courage of all who were imprisoned there and died there. Kilmainham is very much a part of Ireland and must be protected and preserved as a National Monument.......that is the very least we can do in honour of those who 'gave all" and helped to establish modern Ireland as we know her today.
CommentsAnother unsympathetic and greedy example of modern Ireland. Short term gain equals long term pain. There is plenty of space available elsewhere for such office space.
CommentsThe area around Kilmainham jail should be developed, but in a way that is sensitive to its historical significance. The proposed office buildings do not meet that requirement. -Kaitlin Moran, New York, US
CommentsTwo years ago I spent the most wonderful week touring Southern Ireland. To this day, my visit to Kilmainham Jail is still the first thing I mention when sharing my experiences of Ireland. Of course I fell in love with the people and the landscape, but honestly, nothing effected me so much as my tour of the jail. Learning of the uprisings, the living conditions and even how the poor buggers'bodies were placed under the stones once dead was just so interesting and moving. Being Australian, I was suprised to discover that a large number of convicts send to Tasmania were actually Irish and from this particular Jail. I cannot comprehend how anyone could miss the significance and importance of the jail as a museum. Not only does it educate the Irish about their place in history, but it educates the many international visitor also. As an Australian I left the jail with a greater understanding of my Irish friend's backgrounds aswell as a real bond because now I know the Irish helped build my nation from the very begining. Please do not sacrifice the respect and reverence of the jail for any reason, particularly a commercial one.
CommentsTo whom it may concern I am an English student studying Irish history here in the UK. I recently visited the jail, as part of my visit to Dublin. Had the jail not been three, I could have never fully comprehended what the prisoners suffered, it brought to life all we had learned.thank you to all who preseved this monument I was greatly humbled to just vistit the site.Might I add, and not particuarly proud to be British!
CommentsReally nice site. I mean it. <a href=http://kleo.meskingnom.com>down</a>
Commentscome on you Irish fighters, don't spoil your land - I visited the jail last week and I was delighted to hear that people who had previously been imprisoned there had helped to restore it to it's glory - please be sympathetic when developing the area!
CommentsI am an Irish American who visited Kilmainham was I visited Ireland. It gave me a direct feel of the history of Ireland in its most tangible form. This historical site's importance should not be diminished!
CommentsRestorations so far are brillaint
CommentsI visited Kilmainham Jail in February 2004 and found it fascinating.Although we also visited other attractions my wife and I regard our 2 hours on the tour at the jail as stimulating and extremely informative.Peter Harwood....Durham City

CommentsMarch 14, 2005 Dear Dublin Planners: As a proud Irish-American, I implore you to create an historically sensitive and commercially viable development across from the jail. Too much of the Irish strugle is intertwined with the jail property to compromise it. It may be necessary to step three paces back in order to advance a plan to enhance the site and to welcome freedom-seekers from round the globe. My wife and I try to visit Dublin each year and we would not want you to act precipitously in this regard. Thank you. wally9542@cox.net

CommentsIt would be shamefull not to protect such an important National Monument. It holds a great history in Ireland and it should not be disturbed. Darryl Costello Bay Bulls, Newfoundland Canada
CommentsI visited Kilmainham Jail 25 years ago as a young American college student in Dublin. I was studying Irish history and Anglo-Irish political relations. The visit is an important memory of my travels and study in Ireland. I would think that my voice joins many in Ireland who think the site is far too important to Irish history to destroy or to alter.

CommentsMy family is one of those that left Ireland due at least in part to the history uniquely displayed at Kilmainham Gaol. Like many others, our visit to Ireland included a visit here to better understand how we came to be Irish-Americans rather than Irish. It was a pilgrimage of sorts. One that should be protected, enhanced, and treasured for the millions of Irish all over the world, and the Irish kids who never have to leave because of what happened there.

CommentsKilmainham Gaol is part of Irish Heritage and should be preserved as such!
CommentsI have recently visited Kilmainham Gaol and left feeling overwhelmed by the history of this establishment. I agree that construction of large buildings in close proximity to the Gaol would distract from the history, especially when you see the older pictures showing acres of grassland around the Gaol. Atlanta, Georgia USA

CommentsI visited kilmainham jail this weekend. Sad to hear about the plans ... Visitor from Belgium
CommentsIs there nothing you people will do to insult our nations history? Hang your heads in shame.
CommentsAs recent visitors to the Gaol, we agree that it is important to maintain the dominance of the gaol in its suroundings. Prisons are afterall built not only to coantain prisoners, but to dominate the people in the town and act as a reminded of the results of wrong doing. Southampton, Hampshire
CommentsPlease think carefully how you develop the land opposite the Kilmainham Gaol, I have travelled all over the world and have enjoyed the pleasure of amazing sights and cultures. I have never been so touched and consumed by anything in the way Kilmainham Gaol has done so. It would be a huge disaster to build anything that stands taller or dominates the skyline. We accept that the land needs deveopling, there are so many other opportunites there that would satisfy all parties. Paul O'Rourke England 00 44 1942 818569
CommentsReally nice site. I mean it. <a href=http://rick.qaswert.com>down</a>
CommentsHaving recently visited Kilmainham I am astonished that such a priceless part of the heritage of both Ireland and the United Kingdom is to be undermined by the proposed development. Please reconsider this as a matter of the greatest urgency and importance. Melbourne, Australia

CommentsIt is essential to fight for the survival of Kilmainham Jail. Kilmainham Jail is of huge significance politically, socially, historically, and, like any other national monument, should be protected. Dublin Corporation should hang their heads in shame - and recognise that the Tower of London wouldn't be messed about with despite not being nearly as important in my view!

CommentsDear Sirs, Although I am not a resident of your beautiful country, I am however, a resident of the United States, a country that has demolished historical landmarks from the past. I am of Irish and Cherokee Native American heritage. Far too may Native American historical landmarks were neglected or demolish because they were symbolic of civil disobedience, political transgressions, war, or were considered to represented cultural, social or economically disadvantaged minority of our population. Weather a historical geographic location or building of this magnitude, that directly or indirectly affected a great number of people, steeped in positive or negative history, is important to preserve for feature generations. If a a culture of nation does not remember and maintain their past history, and those tangible evidence of it, history become just a narrative or folklore open for interpretation. Thank you Lezlie Abbott

CommentsPlease think carefully about the land opposite Kilmainhaim jail. You have a proud and beautiful land in Ireland, a land which many of those who died in that jail gave their life to free from injustice, inequality and oppression and not to see it be replaced by the oppression of European and world commerce There is more to life than property developers, pushing money around and concrete slabs - the value of the aesthetic, heritage and protecting and conserving the language and history As planners and developers you must, of course, look to the future but build a future that has respect for the past Those who love your country do so with a heart that loves it for being Ireland and not just for it being a replica of anyplace anywhere Kilmainham is a potent symbol and should be revered and remembered. Don't dishonour what it stands for Thanks for taking the time to read this Mandy Plymouth Devon
CommentsI find it very sad that this is going to happen. Quite a lot of our ancestors were held in this gaol prior to transportation to the colonies, especailly Australia. Far to many places & buildings are being torn down to make way for offices etc.
CommentsI went home to Dublin last year after 18 years i left in 1958 at the age of 11 and was shocked to see no money had been spent in the area around were i was born and bred so leave the area you propose to destroy.. or are we trying to cover up the history of the British in Dublin and their doings ..Develope Dean st.Francis St and the Coombe ..they are in the places that need yor money....BADLY
CommentsHello I have recently visited Kilmainham Gaol and I feel that I have to say that this holds a vital part of Irelands history in the fight for freedom. If this gaol is shut for any reason it would serve as a travesty of justice for the men and women who gave their lives in the fight for freedom for Ireland and the Irish people.
CommentsMyself and my two daughters visited Kilmainhan Jail when we were in Dublin on holiday and we went on the tour, the facts were fascinating and also sad,and I was touched by the passion the tour guide showed in his voice,I think it would be SHOCKING if the proposed developments went ahead when it holds a great part of Dublins' history. As far as I am concerned Kilmainham Jail IS Dublin and if I am lucky enough to come to Dublin again I would surely make a return visit to the jail again. We are from Glasgow

CommentsI am from the United States, Texas City, Texas, I am Irish and i've been reading about Ireland and its history lately and I am planning on going to see Kilmainham Jail whenever I can, I would love to see it, it holds alot of Ireland's history in it and I think anyone would want to visit the jail if they learned about it.

CommentsAs a member of Tourism Ireland and a frequent tour operator to this historic district I would be deeply saddened to see such an important part of Ireland history commercialized. Regardless of the office plan it would negatively impact the appearance of the area and it's significance. Our tour groups have already asked if the 'crane' is the official bird of Ireland? Jesting at the volume of building cranes over the Liffey. . please don't add this to the boom.

CommentsKilmainham Jail must survive! I am from Rome, Italy. I visited the museum a few days ago and I got really touched by the history of that place. Nobody must diminish its stature!
CommentsMy name is Emma Smith, i am from Ballymun in Dublin but i am currently living in the united states. I totally disagree with the building of the proposed blocks. I grew up in Ireland and alwaly's remember my parents taking me to the jail at least two to three times a year for educational and family day out's. i plan on doing the same for my children one day as living in America i want them to learn and understand where they come from and the jail is a huge part of why ireland is was it is today and to take away from that would be a shame.

CommentsI recently visited Ireland, and Kilmainham gaol was one of the sites we visited. It is eerie to say the least. I can understand why your citizens are so connected to their history, sites like Kilmainham make it part of their daily life. It would be another miscarriage of justice (in a site already known for them) to do anything that would denigrate the power of the history contained there. I am from the United States.
