There's an airport bus (Dublin Express) that goes to Heuston station. I would get that and then drop your luggage at the baggage place near the Ashling Hotel. Then the gaol is about 10min away walking through the grounds of IMMA (lovely café there if you want lunch before the tour). Royal Oak pub is a great local pub if you want to hang around a bit after.

In Greece our tour of 20 went to ancient Mycenae, and there were a few minutes at the old Imperial Tomb or whatever they called the beehive tomb there. The guide said we have 5 minutes, and sat outside as we went in. He said “Take some pictures!”
When we came out he said “Let’s see your pictures.”
All of them had orbs.
“I never go in there,” he said.

When I was a kid, I remember we did a tour with school around Kilmainham. All good until we got to one room and even though I was only like 9 or 10, this room made me feel overwhelmingly sad and I just wanted to cry. Tour guide caught up to us and told us that this was the cell one of the Easter Rising leaders were kept in, the night before he was executed. Then we walked on further and went out into this big prison yard area, again the moment I stepped out into it, I felt sick and overwhelmingly sad, it was like I just got bad vibes from the place, just an insane oppressive feeling. Tour guide then proceeds to tell us how this is the yard where they were all brought to be executed. No ghosts, but I always remember it. I was a kid, didn't know anything about empaths or mediums or whatnot. I just remember telling my mum about it afterwards cause it freaked me out so much. Never experienced anything like that ever again despite visiting a few 'haunted' locations.

March 31, 2021 - The jail closed in 1924 and was left abandoned for more than 25 years. Unsurprisingly, despite all the repairs, updates, and cleaning, the gruesome history of Kilmainham Gaol has left a dark imprint on the building we see today.
